Environment
Helping take care of tomorrowWe take our environmental responsibilities very seriously indeed. We’re very aware that a company of our size uses a lot of resources, but we’re doing everything we can to reduce them – and make sure those we do use don’t cause any damage.
What we’ve done so far
- 20% of our energy comes from renewable sources.
- We’ve installed motion sensors so our lights are only on when we need them.
- We recycled over 70% of our waste in 2007.
- We’re reducing the amount of paper we use by sending information electronically.
- We use recycled paper and chlorine-free ink as much as possible.
- We’ve achieved ISO14001 certification for environmental management in our Edinburgh and Lytham properties.
The AEGON Group is listed in both the Dow Jones Sustainability Index and the FTSE4Good.
Our targets
We’ve come a long way, but we’re not stopping there. We’re working on reducing our carbon footprint and have set targets to reduce our overall emissions.
