Sustainability Matters

14 Energy The energy we use in our buildings can have a significant environmental and commercial impact. At Aegon, we purchase 100% certified renewable energy. Waste We’re committed to reducing the amount of waste created throughout our sites and increasing recycling across the business. We recycle over 80% of our waste. Food waste is converted into compost or soil conditioner and our oil waste is turned into biodiesel. Any mixed residual waste is used to generate electricity. Climate contributions We’re committed to providing and maintaining high environmental standards across our organisation. We’ve significantly reduced our operational emissions through increased use of renewable energy and efficiency measures. We also support global carbon reduction initiatives as part of our decarbonisation journey. Circular economy We have a mature and detailed life-cycle management process, which recognises the importance of investing in new materials that help us reduce our environmental impacts. We’re inspired by circular-economy principles, and continually look to refurbish or recycle existing materials and products where possible.
