As one of Britain's largest insurance companies with over 18 million customers worldwide, Aviva plc stands as a cornerstone of the UK's financial services sector. Operating across multiple segments including life insurance, general insurance, and asset management, Aviva manages over £500 billion in assets and employs approximately 22,000 people globally.
Under the leadership of CEO Amanda Blanc since July 2020, Aviva has strengthened its focus on its core markets of the UK, Ireland, and Canada. The company has demonstrated strong performance in sustainable finance, committing to becoming a Net Zero carbon emissions company by 2040 and investing significantly in renewable energy projects. Recent strategic moves include expanding its bulk purchase annuity business and enhancing its digital services platform.
Beyond its corporate achievements, Aviva plays a vital role in supporting local communities through the Aviva Foundation and various social initiatives. The company's community fund has supported thousands of grassroots projects across the UK, while its "Building Future Communities" programme focuses on helping regions become more climate-resilient and sustainable.
Founded in 1696 as the Hand in Hand Fire & Life Insurance Society, Aviva's current form emerged through the 2000 merger of CGU and Norwich Union, adopting the Aviva name in 2002. This rich heritage, combined with centuries of adapting to changing market conditions, has positioned Aviva as a trusted name in insurance and financial services, particularly in its home market of the UK.
