The annual total monetary contributions and expenditures to trade associations in 2023 was EUR 5.7 million. The three largest contributions were to the Dutch Association of Insurers, the Dutch Banking Association and the World Economic Forum.

In addition, NN Group has direct engagements with authorities and public decisionmakers concerning regulatory and policy developments by way of providing them with relevant information, wherever appropriate. NN Group does not make financial contributions to political parties in the Netherlands or elsewhere.

NN Group focuses on EU and Dutch legislative proposals or policies, such as:

  • Prudential Regulation (Solvency II)

NN Group has a dedicated Public and Government Affairs (PGA) team. Its function is to identify and assess major regulatory initiatives, upcoming policies, and societal trends, that are important to NN Group, its businesses and activities, and the insurance sector in general. PGA positions NN Group on such developments in close collaboration with internal experts and coordinates the external communication with external experts, industry associations, and other stakeholders. We aim to constructively contribute to European and national policy debates and policymaking by engaging with key external stakeholders.

The PGA team reports to Director Corporate Relations and to the responsible Member of the Management Board NN Group (Chief People, Communications, and Sustainability Officer). Updates from the PGA team are regularly discussed by the NN Group Management and Supervisory Board.
