Policies and reports

At Athora Netherlands we highly value our social responsibility. We want to play a meaningful role in making society more sustainable. This can be read, among other things, in our policy and reports.

Overview policies and reports

Our themes

Urgent social developments, such as climate change, deforestation, water scarcity and the fair distribution of labour, are making ever greater demands on companies. Athora Netherlands wants to emphatically contribute to solution directions in the areas that we believe are important.

Climate

To limit global warming to 1.5 degrees (Paris Climate Agreement), our investments must contribute net zero to greenhouse gas emissions (Net zero) by 2050. Therefore, we want to reduce greenhouse gas intensity by 50% by 2030 and 75% by 2040 compared to the end of 2019. We aim for an average reduction in emissions from our investments of 7% per year.

Nature

Athora Netherlands has committed to full restoration of nature (including biodiversity) by 2050, in line with the Kunming-Montreal Agreement. Although we already monitor on related topics such as water use, land use and chemical waste management, we aim to develop and implement concrete (intermediate) targets in line with this commitment to full restoration by the end of 2026.

People

Athora Netherlands stands for good employment practices, in line with the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights. All employees of companies, governments and institutions within our investment portfolios must receive a fair and livable wage, with which a person can provide for the basic needs for themselves and their families. Before the end of 2025, we want to develop this further into concrete criteria and goals.
