AEGON’s approach to community support

AEGON devolves considerable responsibility for the donations it makes each year to individual country and operating units. This enables AEGON to support a wide variety of charitable organizations important to the local communities in which the company operates.

In addition, AEGON is now developing a more integrated approach to corporate donations, which will operate alongside local practices and provide greater focus to the company's community support efforts.

As part of this approach, AEGON intends to set out rules for clearer governance, aimed at avoiding possible conflicts of interest and ensuring a proper balance in decision making between local and international considerations.

AEGON expects to implement this new approach progressively over the next two to three years.
