Our strategy is built around creating long-term sustainable value for our customers, colleagues, shareholders and society. This is underpinned by our strategic commitments and reflected in our financial and strategic targets. Our ambition is to be an industry leader, known for customer engagement, talented people, and contribution to society. We have set clear targets and regularly disclose progress in a transparent way. We are pleased that our efforts are being recognised by various ESG ratings and benchmarks.
Reporting
NN Group takes an integrated approach to reporting. The 2024 Annual Report strives to present information about NN's strategy, governance, performance and future prospects in ways that are relevant to the economic, environmental and social contexts in which it operates. In this report, we included a separate Sustainability Statement for the first time, outlining how we address our material sustainability matters.
The information and data in the 2024 Annual Report are prepared in accordance with relevant non-financial disclosure regulations, such as the European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS) and EU Taxonomy. NN Group has externally disclosed that it is aligning its climate action approach to the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD) and publishes an annual Climate Action Plan. In addition, we report our progress on the UN Principles for Sustainable Insurance (PSI) and UN Global Compact (UNGC). Every year we also publish an Active Ownership Report on our engagement and voting activities.
