In 2007, AEGON will take further steps to improve its management of both governance and broader corporate responsibility issues. During the year, AEGON will:

• Set out group-wide principles on exercising voting rights related to shares AEGON owns in other companies. These principles will operate in conjunction with existing country unit policies.
• Establish group-wide corporate responsibility standards for suppliers in all its major procurement centers.
• Examine the possibility of a new, globally coordinated action plan to reduce energy consumption.
• Invest in streamlining and enhancing the Group's corporate responsibility information gathering and reporting.
• Investigate possible membership of business networks to exchange views with other companies on how to improve its management of corporate responsibility issues.
• Begin work on a trackable, baseline index, compiled from existing surveys, to measure overall rates of customer satisfaction for AEGON companies worldwide.
