Impact24 -- Non-financial and Sustainability Achievements



 
   



  • Due to the continued sustainability efforts throughout the company, Ageas improved its ratings with five out of the six ESG rating agencies that follow the Group.
  • Several Group entities were awarded for their efforts in the field of Human Resources, which supports Ageas’s ambition to be a “Great place to Grow” for its employees.
  • Ageas introduced several initiatives to strengthen its core business and distribution channels, improve customer experience, and integrate new technologies.
 

Hans De Cuyper, CEO Ageas, commented: “In 2023, we delivered a strong commercial performance. This was mainly driven by a remarkable growth in Non-Life across the Group and by the strong Life activities in China, while Reinsurance also successfully concluded its 1 January 2024 renewal campaign. The solid margins in Life and the strong combined ratio in Non-Life confirm the operational strength of our business now and going forward. In meeting our commitments with regards to the Net Operating Result, we are proud to announce a total gross cash dividend of EUR 3.25 over 2023, in line with our engagement under Impact24. Regarding the progress on our Impact24 strategy, again in 2023, we took important steps in delivering on our ambitions in terms of growth, commercial excellence, integration of tech & data, and sustainability. As a result, we made good progress against our non-financial and sustainability targets on many fronts, which was also recognised by the outside world, as evidenced by the rating increase throughout the year by five of the six ESG rating agencies that follow us. I’m very grateful to our dedicated people and valued partners for their significant contributions to our strong performance in 2023, and I want to thank our investors and customers for their unwavering trust in our company.”

Ageas/Shaking shackles, coming together/BUY

Moving away from dependence on Asian earnings (now c.30%), while carefully managing its M&A path, we believe AGEAS is well positioned to see an earnings acceleration in the coming years. China upstreams are coming through, while the share price of its Chinese partner CTIH has doubled in 12 months. BNP PARIBAS has increased its stake in the Group (from c.15% to c.23%) at the same time moving out of the Belgian entity AG, and the Belgian government is looking at options to increase its 6.3% stake....
