Edwin Downey, AEGON USA Realty Advisors Inc.

What does AEGON do to lessen its impact on the environment?

"AEGON's businesses have lots of initiatives in place to reduce their consumption of energy, paper and water; we're also looking at ways of cutting back on business travel and lowering our CO2 emissions. As a company, we recognize that we have a share of the responsibility for the environment in which we operate, and - through our own businesses and investments - we encourage a responsible, long-term approach to managing our resources."
