·
In 2021, we announced our ambition to become Net
Zero by 2040, the first major insurance company in the world to do
so. We are aiming to have Net Zero carbon emissions from Aviva's
operations and supply chain by 2030. While we are working towards
our sustainability ambitions, we recognise that while we have
control over Aviva's operations and influence on our supply chain,
when it comes to decarbonising the economy in which we operate and
invest, Aviva is one part of a far larger global ecosystem. There
are also limits to our ability to influence other organisations and
governments. Nevertheless, we remain focused on the task and are
committed to playing our part in the collective effort to enable
the global transition. Find out more about our climate goals
