Inclusion takes all of us

People are at the heart of our business, and we’re nothing without them. When they succeed, we succeed and we add more value to our customers’ lives.

Our inclusion, equity and diversity agenda, driven directly by our Chief People Officer, enables everyone to be themselves and achieve their potential. We aim for everyday inclusion, where we all play a part in how valued, supported, included and engaged everyone feels at work. 

Social inclusion

We committed to taking positive actions to help represent underrepresented communities at work.

We're passionate about racial equality

We’re proud signatories of the Business in the Community’s (BITC) Race at Work Charter. Because of this, we’ve appointed an Executive Sponsor for race equality and and supported race inclusion allies. 

We want to achieve a true gender balance

As strong supporters of the Women in Finance Charter, we’re committed to improving our gender diversity in senior management. We’re aiming for a 50/50 balance by 2030, and expect to reach an interim target of 43% by the end of 2025. (Gender pay gap report, 2023) We’re also passionate about increasing female representation in STEM courses and our technology roles.

What’s more, since 2020 we’ve been a founding partner of the Women in Banking and Finance (WIBF) Accelerating Change Together research programme.

Supporting our disabled colleagues

In July 2022 we became a member of the Business Disability Forum. This has given us the impetus to progress through the Disability Confident Scheme, which will enable us to make the most of the talents people with disabilities bring to Aegon.

We’re proud 

Our Aegon Proud network supports the LGBTQIA+ community and allies, helping colleagues feel like they belong and can be themselves. We're proud to have ambassador status in the LGBTQIA+ global benchmark Workplace Pride and the work Aegon Proud carries out is an integral part of how we have achieved this standard. 

Bringing generations together

It’s vital that we understand the challenges our colleagues face at every stage of life. From getting their first job, to parenthood and mortgages – all the way up to retirement, we have communities you can join which support parents and carers, and those going through menopause, which are great ways to meet others experiencing similar stages in life.

By sharing our perspectives, we can widen our view of the world and discover how to navigate obstacles in our own lives.

Whoever you are and whatever you’re looking for, you'll be noticed and heard here at Aegon. There’s nowhere better to spend your life and shape your career.
