II. Global Reporting Initiative

The Global Reporting Initiative was set up in late 1997. Its aim is to develop accepted and comparable standards for corporate economic, environmental and social reporting. GRI works with an extensive network of experts in dozens of countries around the world, representing different disciplines and interests.

AEGON’s 2007 Corporate Responsibility Report covers most GRI indicators relating to the company’s main areas of activity in the CR field. Based on existing guidelines and the GRI’s new ‘G3’ standards, AEGON assesses the Application Level of this 2007 Report as ‘B’, unchanged from 2006. Please see here for a detailed assessment of AEGON’s performance under the GRI index.
