NN Group included in Dow Jones Sustainability Indices
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
NN Group is pleased to announce that the company will be included in the Dow
Jones Sustainability Indices (DJSI), both in the DJSI World index and DJSI
Europe index, as from 18 September 2017. This shows that NN Group ranks amongst
the top 10% of the insurance industry group with regard to sustainability
performance. Companies are awarded scores based on their performance in three
areas: economic, environmental and social. While the industry average score is
47, NN Group's overall score is 80 (out of 100).
S&P Dow Jones Indices, one of the world's leading providers of financial market
indices, and RobecoSAM, the investment specialist focused exclusively on
sustainability investing, today announced the results of the annual Dow Jones
Sustainability Indices (DJSI) review.
Lard Friese, CEO of NN Group: 'We aim to create value for our stakeholders and
use our resources and expertise to help society achieve long-term, sustainable
prosperity. I am proud that our efforts have been acknowledged by DJSI. This is
a true motivation for us to continue our strategic direction and to keep
improving our sustainability performance.'

About the DJSI review
Following a best-in-class approach, the indices measure the performance of the
world's sustainability leaders. Companies are selected for the indices based on
a comprehensive assessment of long-term economic, environmental and social
criteria that account for general as well as industry-specific sustainability
trends. Only firms that lead their industries based on this assessment are
included in the indices. The indices are created and maintained according to a
systematic methodology, allowing investors to appropriately benchmark
sustainability-driven funds and derivatives over the long term.
