Our Ambition 2018
As a Stakeholder driven insurance company, our success is a reflection of how all stakeholders value their relationship with us over the long term.
As we set out to define Ambition 2018 we considered what we had learned through Vision 2015, what had changed and what might impact Ageas in the future. It was a very natural evolution.
The result of this work and the recommendations that emerged helped map out the road ahead. It is clear what we need to do to be successful and where we need to invest to deliver for our stakeholders.
Partnerships are part of our DNA
We create long term partnerships, collaborating with best in class local partners. This allows us to offer first class insurance propositions, access new markets and customer groups.
