Compliance
For Syntrus Achmea, compliance is more than just adhering to the rules and regulations. Compliance is an essential core value, expressed through integrity, respect and ethical conduct. Compliance is the foundation underlying our trust relationship with our clients.
Pension fund administrators entrust us with the management of vast assets. We invest these assets, but we do so with utmost care. This means, for example, that we account for our activities, that we avoid all conflicts of interests, and that we control all risks. Internal agreements have been made to this end, and have been embedded in our operational management.
Independent assessment
Each Syntrus Achmea business unit has a Compliance Officer, who permanently monitors compliance with laws, rules and internal agreements. The Compliance Officers together form the Compliance unit, which reports directly to the Syntrus Achmea Board Chairman. This position allows them to form an independent assessment.
Awareness
Compliance covers a broad terrain, from integrity to due diligence. We make sure that our personnel are aware and remain aware of all compliance risks. For this we have developed various tools, such as a dilemma game and e-learning modules.
