Our Finance department is extremely wide-ranging, interacting with just about every area of the business and, of course, with customers. At the simplest level, one of the most important things we do is ensure that all payments are effectively processed, so people receive the right amount of money on time. There are numerous other functions within finance, including our actuarial team, which ensures that Aegon has the appropriate level of capital and liquidity and the correct management structure in place. The actuaries’ challenge is to ensure that the business is fit for purposes and is delivering the right solutions for investors and customers; they also play an important part in confirming that any information Aegon provides is factual and correct. Ultimately, our responsibility is to make the company as sustainable as possible whilst doing the same for our customers’ investments. Sustainability is at the heart of everything Aegon does – whether it’s reducing our electricity consumption or finding new routes to advertise and market our products.
