Sustainability at Aviva 

What is ESG?

ESG investing incorporates environmental, social and governance (ESG) elements into a fund’s investment process, in addition to financial considerations. 

Investing your money to make a difference

Aviva was named the ESG provider of the Year at the 2023 Irish Pension Awards and won the ESG Investment Award at the 2023 Business & Finance ESG Awards. 

Across our Managed for You and Managed by You fund ranges, we offer funds that we, or our fund partners, have determined to comply with Article 8 requirements under European Sustainability Regulations1 . For example, in our Managed for You and Managed with You options you can invest in funds from Aviva Investors, the fund management arm of the Aviva Group. We have designated our flagship Multi-Asset Funds as Article 8 Funds under European Sustainability Regulations1.

1. The European Regulations are the Sustainable Finance Disclosure Regulation (Regulation (EU) 2019/2088) (SFDR). This regulation is designed to improve transparency in relation to sustainability risks and impacts in relation to financial products in the market and make it easier for investors to distinguish and compare the available sustainable investing strategies. Article 8 Funds consider ESG as part of their investment process but they do not have a specific sustainability objective. Beyond any binding ESG constraints in the strategy and baseline exclusions policy, the investment manager retains discretion over final investment decisions, taking into account wider risk factors.
