Aviva PLC

Aviva discloses a clear governance framework that extends specifically to its climate-related lobbying, covering both its own advocacy and its participation in trade associations. The company states that "our approach and processes related to climate advocacy are managed by the Group Public Affairs team," and that these processes are "reviewed and monitored by the Public Policy team," indicating an established mechanism for continual oversight. It further explains that "the trade associations that we are members of should be aligned with our values and policies... in the absence of this alignment, we would seek to engage the organisation... and if necessary distance ourselves from them," showing an active procedure for ensuring indirect lobbying alignment. Direct lobbying is also addressed, with a public commitment to "using our influence to advocate for the systemic change needed to reach Net Zero before 2050 and ensuring alignment with this across all political activity." Responsibility is clearly assigned: "Oversight of these activities and principles is the responsibility of the Customer and Sustainability Committee... which reports to the Aviva plc Board," while "our executive level Brand and Corporate Affairs Director, Stephen Doherty, is responsible for oversight of our public policy activities." Together these disclosures demonstrate strong governance of both direct and indirect climate lobbying, although the company does not disclose a standalone, published lobbying-alignment audit or third-party review, and therefore transparency on the outcomes of its oversight remains limited.
