Aviva Group Centre is a Fairtrade Zone

Aviva at St Helen’s became a Fairtrade Zone in 2007 – one of the first large companies in the City of London to do so.

Aviva Group Centre embarked on an aggressive promotion of Fairtrade products at the beginning of 2007, supporting the Corporation of London in its bid to become a Fairtrade Zone. Our Fairtrade promotion involved switching as many food products as possible to Fairtrade, in both our cafe and vending machines. Providing Fairtrade products is now a key requirement in the tender process for vending and catering suppliers.
