11 June 2009 saw the very first Dutch National Insurance Awards being presented in the Elicium in Amsterdam's RAI. Dechesne & Boertje supported the initiators of these Awards (publishers Kluwer and marketing agency For All Finance) by helping to develop the concept and the organization.
Awards were given in categories including best advice organization, damage service, e-business, employer, talent, campaign and CSR policy. The organizers hope that the awards for socially relevant activities will focus more attention on the better aspects of the insurance industry. Anita Witzier hosted the presentation of the 12 Golden Trophies, which were gratefully accepted by various organizations and people.
