Taking place-based action

Building stronger, inclusive communities at a local level.

Taking action in the places we live and work

We operate a place-based approach to build stronger, inclusive communities at a local level. We are helping to regenerate the places where we live and work, including the UK cities and communities where Aviva is a major employer. We focus on taking social and climate action to:

  • enhance financial resilience, housing and infrastructure, and employability prospects
  • insure and invest in energy transition and support climate adaptation while protecting and restoring nature

We partner with national and local causes to help us focus on priority challenges and opportunities. As the Founding Place Partner for the King’s Responsible Business Network (BITC), we support their ambition to improve 50 communities by 2032.
