21 Aviva plc
Annual report + accounts 2002
Measuring progress
External recognition of our progress is reflected in Aviva’s
continued inclusion in socially responsible investment (SRI) funds.
We continue to be the only UK insurer in the Dow Jones
Sustainability Indexes, and we are included in the
FTSE4Good indices.
In addition, we were ranked the top global insurer for CSR
performance by Innovest, the investment research advisers and
ratings agency, in December 2002. The report highlighted that
Aviva was setting the standard for best practice in nearly every
aspect of CSR in the insurance industry.
Public bodies
Aviva has helped to define CSR practice in the UK through our
chairmanship of the Forge II project, a public/private partnership
which in November 2002 published guidance for the management
and reporting of CSR by UK financial services organisations.
We are committed to following the principles of the UN’s Global
Compact and are keen to play our part in developing CSR thinking
and practice worldwide. Aviva is also proud to have had the
opportunity of chairing the Acorn Trust, which has developed
an accreditation system for small and medium-sized enterprises
in the UK.
Further details
More CSR information can be found in the Directors’ report on
page 32. Full details of our activities, including our annual CSR
report, are on our website at www.aviva.com/csr
We believe that
investing in CSR is
good for business
and for all those
associated with it.
