Aviva’s Sustainability Ambition

Creating a better tomorrow

Our Sustainability Ambition sets out the steps we’re taking to help protect the planet and build stronger, more resilient communities. It’ll help ensure we’ll always be with you today, for a better tomorrow.

The challenges facing our world – like the climate crisis – affect us all. They impact our lives, families, and our future.

Our three areas of focus include fighting for climate change, strengthening communities and embedding sustainability into our business. Making sustainability a guiding force in business takes standing up for what you believe in. It takes having people who care. It takes commitment, passion, partnership. It takes Aviva.

Becoming a net-zero company by 2040
The climate crisis is one of the greatest and most urgent threats facing our planet. Together with our partners, we’ll help our customers, our people and our business to tackle climate change and create a brighter future.

Building on our climate work over the last three decades and as one of Aviva’s core markets, Aviva Canada is contributing to the achievement of the most ambitious carbon reduction plan of any major insurer in the world today. Our plan is to:
- become a net-zero company by 2040¹.
- achieve a 25% reduction in carbon intensity of assets by 2025, and 60% by 2030.
- have a net-zero operations and supply chain by 2030.

Building stronger communities
We are focused on working with our people, customers and partners to build communities that are stronger and more resilient to the climate crisis, and to contribute to the realization of a diverse and inclusive Canada. We’ll help achieve these goals by:
- Donating 2% of our annual profits to community investment².
- Globally, making 10 million people more resilient, including a focus on climate resiliency and building a more diverse and inclusive society.
- Globally, contributing over 300,000 volunteering hours by 2025
- Reducing injuries and fatalities on Canadian streets through Take Back Our Roads.
- Inspiring our people to give back to the causes that matter most to them through our AvivaGives volunteer and giving program. We give our people time off to volunteer in their communities (3 days per year) and match their personal donations (up to $300/year) to charities they care about.
- Restoring degraded lands and shorelines to improve habitats and capture carbon through our WWF-Canada partnership.
Embedding sustainability

To make sure that the way we do business always reflects our values, we'll embed sustainability in everything we do. This includes ensuring clear accountability for action, transparent reporting, respecting human rights and ensuring we are an employer of choice through our focus on diversity and inclusion, health, and wellbeing.

We recognize the strength that comes from working as one team, collaborating and winning together for Aviva, for each other and for our customers.
