Diversity & Inclusion

Pensions are ultimately about people, life, and living together. APG has approximately 3,500 unique individuals working together to build a sustainable future. We strive to be an appealing organization that current and future customers identify with. An organization that reflects the society we work for. Our key principle is: at APG you can be who you are and be welcome. We strongly believe in providing equal opportunities. We also believe that feeling welcomed and (being) valued deepens job satisfaction, increases engagement, and leads to better results for our clients and their participants. 

Diversity is about differences and inclusion is about recognizing and valuing those differences. Diversity is about all aspects in which people can differ from each other yet be complementary. These can be both visible and invisible characteristics: age, color, (dis)ability, ethnicity, family or marital status, gender identity or expression, intersex status, language, national origin, political affiliation, race, religion, sexual orientation, socio-economic status, veteran status, and all other characteristics that make each person unique. Inclusion means an environment in which we accept, embrace, respect, and appreciate every colleague, so that they feel welcome and can be comfortable to be the truest version of themselves.
