8.5Stakeholder engagement1

The way a.s.r. interacts with stakeholders is described in the Stakeholder Policy. The stakeholders consulted in the stakeholder dialogue in April 2023 were (representatives of) customers, peers, suppliers, brokers, educational and research institutes, NGOs, media and branch organisations. A summary of the outcome of the stakeholder dialogue was shared with the Management Board and the stakeholders that participated. The outcomes of the stakeholder survey on impact and financial materiality are included in the figure on the last page of this section.
