Asr Nederland

ASR Nederland, a prominent insurance and pension funding services provider headquartered in the Netherlands, is actively engaged in reducing its carbon footprint. For the reporting year 2025, the company reported approximately 69.2 million kg CO2e in total emissions. This includes Scope 1 emissions of approximately 1.13 million kg CO2e, Scope 2 emissions (market-based) of approximately 8,000 kg CO2e, and substantial Scope 3 emissions totalling approximately 64.7 million kg CO2e, with purchased goods and services being the largest contributor at approximately 60.37 million kg CO2e.

The company has established ambitious climate commitments. ASR Nederland aims to reduce its direct CO2e emissions (Scope 1 and 2) by 50% by 2025, using 2018 as the baseline year. Furthermore, they are committed to achieving net-zero emissions by 2050. As part of the Dutch Climate Agreement, ASR Nederland has pledged a 49% reduction in its carbon footprint by 2030, based on a 1990 baseline. For its investment portfolio, specifically internal assets under management, ASR Nederland has set a target to reduce carbon footprint by 65% by 2030, compared to a 2015 baseline. Their investment management arm, ASR Asset Management, has set a target to reduce the carbon intensity of its combined investment portfolio (government and corporate debt, and listed equities) by 70% by 2030, compared to a 2015 baseline. This is a carve-out from the ASR Nederland N.V. target, which also includes real estate and mortgages not managed by ASR Asset Management.

The company's commitment to Science-Based Targets initiative (SBTi) is evident, with near-term targets set for 2030 aligned with a 1.5°C pathway, covering 62% of its total investment and lending by total assets under management as of 2023. They aim for net-zero GHG emissions across their full value chain by 2050.
