ESG

Our ESG strategy

Our purpose is to help people get the most out of life, and our ESG strategy is fully aligned to that purpose, to ensure that we use our capabilities to maximise our positive social and environmental impact. Our new ESG strategy distils the many ways in which we help our stakeholders into three pillars: making health and financial security accessible; stewarding the human impacts of climate change; and building social capital.

The three pillars of our ESG strategy

Making health and financial security accessible

We give people greater access to good health and financial security. We are committed to enabling as many individuals as possible in the markets in which we operate to make the most out of their lives. We are increasing our focus on underserved communities and moving beyond our traditional role of financial protection to provide a more holistic service that also prevents and postpones ill-health.

Stewarding the human impacts of climate change

We are a signatory to TCFD and, as a significant asset manager and asset owner, we have a distinctive role to play in the transition to a low-carbon economy. We are decarbonising our investment portfolio and as we support the move to a lower-carbon economy in our emerging markets, we strive to ensure that the transition is an inclusive one for all of society. That means a transition that supports sustainable growth and economic health within our local markets and communities.

Building social capital

We are committed to building both our own human capital and our social capital with our broader stakeholders. We empower people and unlock their potential by promoting diversity in representation and thought, and fostering a culture of inclusion and a sense of belonging within our organisation.
