4 Sustainability is critical to Aegon. It’s a mindset that helps guide our strategy and decision-making and involves thinking deeply about how we impact people and the planet. It’s about values and how we define success in a world facing urgent environmental and social challenges. Climate change poses a threat to us and future generations. It isn’t a matter of choice – we all need to get behind the necessary transition to a lowcarbon and climate-resilient future. At Aegon, we’re passionate about making a difference and believe everything we do matters. Whether it’s eliminating waste, changing our travel practices, offering responsible investment options, ensuring sustainability in our supply chain, or supporting charitable work and our communities. So, it’s with great pride that I introduce our first Sustainability matters publication, which provides an overview of our many efforts. We’re focused on the key areas of responsible investing, the environment, giving back and working towards a goal of being among the top 25% of responsible businesses in the UK. While we’re proud of our achievements, we won’t rest on our laurels. We’re constantly asking ourselves what we can do better and welcome feedback from all stakeholders as we continue this critical journey. We care passionately about our communities and the environment Introduction Mike Holliday-Williams Chief Executive Officer, Aegon UK
