Our focus on climate change
and environment
“Thank you for all the encouragement given to that redoubtable core of sustainability champions inside Aviva.”
Jonathon Porritt, founder director, Forum for the Future
Tackling climate change and protecting the environment are key priorities at Aviva. For over 300 years, we’ve helped people protect what they have today and to plan, invest and save for their futures; we understand the need for greater sustainability. We’re helping to increase awareness of the potential impacts and working on low-carbon solutions for our customers.
Strategy
First of all, we are controlling our own impacts and carbon footprint, including greenhouse gas emissions from energy and business travel. We believe it’s arguably more important to use our influence externally, so we’re engaging widely to develop more sustainable approaches – with our customers, the companies in which we invest, suppliers and government.
