ESG

Achmea Mortgages believes in sustainability as the basis for good and stable returns. That is why we incorporate sustainability risks in our investment decisions and services.

Translating the new requirements into the various products and services of Achmea Mortgages means virtually all products include environmental and social characteristics, and that good governance practices are followed.

We use various measurement methods to determine how sustainable our investments are and inform our clients about this through various (fund) reports.

Our policy will, of course, take account of the future requirements that we and our customers have to meet.

The full explanation of how Achmea Mortgages incorporates sustainability risks in investment decisions is available in our description 'Incorporation Sustainability Risks in Investments'.

As an investment manager, we consider the adverse effects of our investments on the planet. That way, we can make a difference for future generations. Based on our long-term ESG strategy, we provide information about the adverse effects of our real estate investments on sustainability factors.

Sustainability factors include environmental, social and employment issues, respect for human rights, and combating corruption and bribery. We take these insights into account when considering investments. Based on the ESG strategy, for example, our portfolio and fund managers apply various ESG targets to the portfolios they manage and include them in the portfolio plans.

More information about the approach for investments is provided in our Statement on principal adverse impacts of investment decisions on sustainability factors of real estate.
