Aviva
United Kingdom
Aviva a financial services company, recognizes that its opportunity to achieve the greatest environmental improvements is in areas where it can influence the behavior of others. The company has developed products and services that link climate impact with the amount of the customer's insurance premium. Aviva is piloting a "Pay As You Drive" auto insurance program that rewards individuals who drive less. The company is also a leader in socially responsible investing (SRI) in the UK and engages in shareholder activism. For example, working in conjunction with Friends of the Earth, Aviva's Morley fund group exerted shareholder pressure resulting in the lead contractor's decision to pull out of Turkey's Ilisu dam project, a controversial project due to its social and environmental impacts. Aviva is also the first fund company in the UK to adopt a proxy voting policy for its non-SRI funds, in which Aviva can advocate for companies to disclose environmental data. On a global basis, more than 65% of Aviva's electricity is derived from renewable sources, and the company is the first insurer to make its global operations carbon neutral. Aviva has begun a Supplier Code of Conduct that focuses on environmental impact, human rights, and social issues. Portfolio 21 will continue to monitor the growth of this program.
