Inclusion & diversity at work

Aegon's vision for inclusion and diversity is to build a fair and inclusive company, where we overcome obstacles to participation and increase our diversity so that everyone belongs, everyone plays a role in fostering inclusion, and we can all live our best life: in our workplace, our marketplace and our communities. 

Statement on inclusion & diversity
An inclusive and diverse culture

Aegon AM is committed to embracing Diversity, Equity and Inclusion, acknowledging, understanding and appreciating the differences between individuals, and developing a workplace culture that enhances their value.

An inclusive and diverse culture enables us to be more effective in developing our people, serving our clients and strengthening our communities.

We are committed to a work environment that embraces employee individuality. By nurturing this environment, our people feel valued for their authentic selves and we are better positioned to consistently deliver the performance, service and solutions our clients seek.

"Our success depends on creating a culture in which people have the confidence to be themselves, where diversity of thought and background are fully valued, and where career progression is based purely on merit. This builds an organization where talented people want to belong, and fosters an innovative, creative, and collaborative environment focused on delivering for clients."

Expanding our diversity data

We are focused on improving the pipeline of racially diverse talent across the firm and that will start with asking employees to voluntarily self-identify their diversity data in the near future.
