AEGON’s supply chain

As an international provider of long-term financial products and services, AEGON has relatively few social, environmental and governance risks associated with its supply chain when compared with other sectors of the economy.

AEGON endeavors to apply a number of basic principles to supply chain management:

• With its suppliers and distributors, AEGON strives to build long-term relationships of mutual benefit to both parties.
• AEGON endeavors to work with business partners who share the company's core values.
• In its distribution contracts, AEGON endeavors to work within accepted international social and environmental standards.
• AEGON operates a 'zero tolerance' policy with regard to bribery, corruption, money laundering, fraud and other violations of the company's Code of Conduct.

Responsibility for supply chain management rests with AEGON's country and business units, which operate through individual standards, rules and guidelines.
