Amsterdam, 23 December 2014

NN Group is pleased to announce that it has chosen running as its main sport sponsoring domain. NN just finalised a three-year title sponsorship agreement with the Marathon Rotterdam and the City-Pier-City Run (CPC) in The Hague.

With the sponsorship of these running events in the Netherlands, NN Group aims to enhance awareness of the newly launched NN brand which includes Nationale-Nederlanden and NN Investment Partners, the future name of ING Investment Management. In the years to come, NN’s objective is to support more running activities in some of its other key markets.

Lard Friese, CEO NN Group said: "We are happy to support such prestigious Dutch running events. With this sponsorship, we want to offer our support to the sport, its athletes and all the people who practise running or jogging themselves. This sponsorship fits well with NN’s values and our aim to contribute to people’s general and financial health and well-being. Also, running attracts a diverse field of participants and spectators in terms of gender, age and nationality, which matches the diverse character of our employees and customers.”
