Embracing our responsibilities

At Aviva, CR is about embracing our responsibilities and addressing the issues that matter to our business in a responsible manner. The Street to School programme is linked to Aviva’s brand promise 'No one recognises you like Aviva'.

Our Street to School programme enables Aviva to recognise the unrecognised and champion the needs of vulnerable children here in Ireland who are homeless or at risk of becoming homeless.

Aviva’s Community programme has four core objectives:

• Recognise the right of everyone in our community to reach their full potential
• Build good community relations as a cornerstone of being a successful business
• Engage our employees in the communities in which they work and live
• Strengthen our culture of teamwork and innovation

Aviva is the largest insurer in Ireland and, as part of a global insurance group; we are dedicated to bringing prosperity and peace of mind to our 1.2m customers through innovative insurance solutions to protect them, their families, their health and their wealth. Embedding this ethos into our community and CR strategy, Aviva set up a volunteer programme in 2005 to deliver our vision of prosperity and peace of mind to the communities in which we live and work. The programme is managed by our dedicated Volunteer Programme coordinator.

The central pillar of our Community Programme is our global ‘Street To School’ initiative which recognises that every homeless child has the right to fulfil their potential. Aviva’s aim is to champion the needs of vulnerable children who are homeless or at the risk of becoming homeless in the communities in which we live and work.
