Corporate Responsibility team blog
Aviva’s Corporate Responsibility team would like to welcome you to our blog.
This is our opportunity to provide you with a greater insight into the day to day workings of Aviva; demonstrating in the words of our company chairman, Lord Sharman of Redlynch OBE, that:
“the essence of corporate and personal responsibility is a willingness to go above and beyond basic requirements in order to make a difference”.
This is also our space to discuss current societal issues as they are highlighted in the global media.
