% of annual sign-off - - 90% 32% 100% of employees n/a Missed target 100% of employees

Notes on KPIs:

  • Business ethics: This data excludes Delta Lloyd employees. While we aim for 100% of employees to sign the code on induction to the company it is inevitable that some new businesses will take some time to implement this requirement.
  • We are currently revising our Business Ethics Code. From 2011 the Code will require annual sign-off. Some businesses have this process in place already and we have reported this percentage here.

Notes on KPIs:

  • We want to show clearly that we have reduced our emissions as a result of energy management and behavioural change and not merely due to divestments. However, we also do not wish new businesses that we include in our reporting scope to detract from the progress we have made in our existing businesses.
  • This data covers all employees as well as joint venture employees.
  • Our reporting continues to evolve and improve to capture all areas of environmental data in all businesses.
  • Gross emissions – Data according to Defra guidelines ie UK electricity rated as grid average but renewable recognised in other countries. Includes Solus for 2010.
  • Absolute emissions – Data excluding the Defra guidelines rating UK renewable electricity as grid average. Includes Solus emissions for 2010.
  • Relative emissions – Restated 2009 emissions taking account of acquisitions and divestments that have occurred over the year and increased scope of reporting in 2010.
  • Waste – 2009 waste has been restated based on availability of more accurate data.

Suppliers

Number of business unit suppliers, with material spend, signing Aviva’s Supplier Code of Conduct - 233 adjusted from 983 438 1,486 1,000 +1,048 Met/exceeded target KPI to be revised in 2011

Notes on KPIs:

  • We have increased the amount of suppliers signing the code of conduct however we have found that some suppliers are reluctant to sign a code as it is not a legal document. Therefore we are implementing a code of behaviour alongside minimum contractual clauses for new contracts from Q2 2011to address some of this issue.
  • This data does not include European claims data.
  • These KPIs will be revised in 2011 in light of our changing processes.
