“The DJSI, which is short for Dow Jones Sustainability Index, was the first global index to track the performance of companies based on a sustainability assessment. It was launched in 1999 and is a partnership between S&P Dow Jones and research agency RobecoSAM (now SAM). As
NN we have participated in the assessment since 2015 and we became a constituent of the index in 2017.
The DJSI is not the only rating we participate in, but it is a very important one because it covers so many different aspects of our business. We think it is important to be included in the DJSI because it is a recognition of our economic, environmental and social performance – and also of our strategic commitment to contribute to the well-being of people and the planet. It tracks our performance over the years and shows us where we can make improvements in how we do business. It also provides a benchmark against (inter)national peers in the insurance sector. Our score in the DJSI is published on Bloomberg so investors can also see how we have performed."
