In the Netherlands, the comprehensive policy is laid down by law in the National Budget as Export Credit Insurance (ECI), Guarantees and Investment Insurance and the Framework Act on Financial Provision. This policy provides a solid basis for our activities and ensures that we can operate in a responsible and transparent manner. Specifically, this policy is described in Article 5 of the National Budget, which focuses on export credit insurance, guarantees and investment insurance.
We have formulated clear policies for several topics, setting out frameworks. These include environmental, social, compliance and transparency. There are also 3 policy statements, namely CSR, human rights and animal welfare. These statements elaborate on parts of the policy and explain how we go about things and what choices have been made.

Not only at national, but also at European and international levels, we are active in negotiations with the OECD and the European Union. Within the OECD, we are involved in the "Arrangement on Officially Supported Export Credits," which promotes fair competition among participating countries through agreements on premiums, financing conditions and sectoral guidelines. This contributes to international standards, transparency and responsible financing practices to create a level playing field. The EU regulates and supports export credit insurers, with the Netherlands participating in multilateral arrangements through the European Commission.
