MSCI has upgraded Aegon’s ESG Rating from ‘AA’ to ‘AAA’, the highest possible score. This marks the first time Aegon has achieved the top rating, placing the company among the leading performers on sustainability risk management within the global life and health insurance sector.
The upgrade reflects Aegon’s progress across several material areas alongside established strengths and enhancements in Aegon’s sustainability reporting, including alignment with the EU Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD). These measures provide greater clarity on how Aegon manages environmental, social, and governance topics across its operations. This recognition strengthens Aegon’s standing with institutional clients and investors. ESG ratings play an increasingly important role in capital allocation decisions, and MSCI’s upgrade underscores the company’s progress in embedding sustainability considerations into its business model.
