Embedding sustainability in our business
We acknowledge NN Group’s role and responsibility to help establish a sustainable economy. We do this through our investments, insurance and banking activities, and through our own operations, while supporting our stakeholders, particularly those who most need our help. As an insurer, we incorporate sustainability aspects into our underwriting and product development processes. As an active asset owner, we integrate sustainability factors into our investment process.
Sustainability
We believe our business has a role to play in the transition to a sustainable economy and are committed to doing what we can to contribute to the well-being of people and the planet; to creating a world where people can thrive for generations to come. Sustainability is an integrated part of our strategy. It is reflected in our strategic commitments and implemented in our roles as financial services provider, investor, employer and business partner.
Our climate approach
Climate change is one of the most pressing risks of our time. The world is experiencing many negative changes as a result of global warming, including extreme weather events and disruptions to livelihood. If the global community does not take rapid action, there will be lasting consequences to ecosystems, human health and security. We are committed to reducing our greenhouse gas emissions, while investing in and insuring climate solutions, and collaborating with others to create momentum for change.

Responsible investment (RI) is an important element of NN Group’s strategy and its commitment to contribute to the well-being of people and the planet. NN’s RI Framework Policy, adopted in 2014, and updated periodically since then, shows how we integrate environmental, social and governance (ESG) factors into our investment processes. It also reflects our commitment to various international and sector-specific standards and initiatives.

Policies, reports & memberships
NN Group strives to structurally embed sustainability in everything we do. We document how we do this in our policies, standards and investment guidelines and report on how these are implemented. We also work together with peers, industry organisations and government entities to increase our leverage and help bring about positive change.
Society
In addition to our focus on sustainability, at NN we also want to be a positive force in the lives of our customers. We believe this also includes taking responsibility for the well-being of society as a whole. To us, being a good corporate citizen means we want to use our resources, expertise and reach to help society achieve long-term sustainable prosperity.
Positive change in communities
At NN, we contribute to the well-being of the people in the communities in which we operate. We provide solutions that create sustainable long-term value by developing products and services that meet people’s real needs in every phase of their lives. Going beyond our focus on customers, our community investment programme aims to improve the well-being of those who are under pressure or at risk.

NN Group’s tax strategy is aligned with our corporate values, care, clear, commit, which have an impact on how we look at tax. We believe that paying tax is more than a cost of doing business: it is a contribution to society. Our tax contributions play an important role for the communities in which we operate.

Art & Culture
Art inspires and connects. It has the ability to move you; to evoke emotions and touch your heart. Art can make you think differently and it encourages creativity. Enjoying art together, and the stories behind the works of art, can give a different perspective on life.
Diversity, equity & inclusion
Our approach to diversity, equity, and inclusion is simple. It is about bringing everyone together to build an environment in which people feel welcome, valued, and respected. A company where our colleagues can bring their whole selves to work, where an inclusive customer experience is the norm, and where we contribute to the well-being of our communities.
