Aviva is aiming to be the first insurer to carbon neutralise its operations on a worldwide basis.
Aviva's carbon output stems from business travel and its use of non-renewable sourced electricity and gas in its offices. Aviva aims to neutralise its global carbon output through investments in projects that generate carbon credits.
The carbon credits will come from a combination of investment in carbon mitigation methods, such as tree planting, and renewable energy generation projects like solar and wind power.
Aviva Australia will also continue its targeted community education program, including sustainable agreements with suppliers, public reporting through its annual Corporate Social Responsibility Report and public presentations and papers on sound sustainable practice.
