Annual Report and Solvency and Financial Condition Report
Achmea today publishes its Annual Report 2024. This is the first year in which we report on the material sustainability aspects of our business operations, in accordance with the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD).
In 2024, we successfully executed our growth strategy and achieved strong financial and non-financial results. At the same time, we are taking important steps in the development of our digital operating model and are on track to achieve our sustainability ambitions. Customer satisfaction, the reputation of the brands and the involvement of employees remain as high as ever.
Bianca Tetteroo, Chair of the Executive Board: “Based on our cooperative identity and our vision 'Sustainable Living, Together', we work on solutions for customers and social issues. The introduction of the CSRD is a positive development, as it provides more transparency about how companies create value, both financially and socially. In addition, this development enables us, and other companies, to focus even more specifically on increasing social impact. I thank all colleagues, customers and partners for their contribution over the past year and look forward to a sustainable and successful future with confidence.”
Achmea also publishes the Solvency and Financial Condition Report for 2024 today. This report explains our financial position based on the Solvency II guidelines. The Annual Report and the Solvency and Financial Condition Report can be downloaded from Publications | Achmea
Dividend payment
The General Meeting approved the proposal to pay a dividend of € 335 million. The dividend is paid as an optional dividend. This means that shareholders can opt for a (partial or full) distribution in cash or in ordinary shares of Achmea (stock dividend).
Of the total amount of € 335 million for 2024, € 257 million will be paid out as a stock dividend in the form of newly issued shares (77%) and € 78 million in cash (23%). Vereniging Achmea has opted to receive its dividend of € 228 million entirely in shares, in line with the statutory objective of this major shareholder. Bianca Tetteroo is pleased with this decision: "Thanks to the choice of Vereniging Achmea for stock dividend, our company can invest even more in customer service and innovation."
