Proudly Supporting
As New Zealand’s largest life insurer, we’re dedicated to helping people live Healthier, Longer, Better Lives. We know the environment has a direct impact on the health and wellbeing of our customers, our employees and our communities.
By taking action to drive positive environmental change, we can support greater health and wellbeing, while also helping to grow a cleaner and greener Aotearoa. Trees That Count is a charity that mobilises businesses, planters and individuals to restore Aotearoa’s unique biodiversity, take action on climate risk and grow a brighter future through the planting of native trees. Learn more about them at treesthatcount.co.nz
Through our partnership with Trees That Count we have our Memorial Tree Planting programme, a unique and meaningful way to honour the memory of our life customers while helping to restore flora and fauna for future generations. For each of our life insurance customers who have recently passed away, a native tree is planted in their memory at various Trees That Count planting sites around the country.
We also organise an annual Memorial Tree Planting Day for our employees, business partners and AIA Vitality Ambassadors to take part in, which is always a great day doing good out in nature.
At Trees That Count, everything we do is aimed at planting millions more native trees: to increase biodiversity, take action on climate change, and for stronger, healthier communities across Aotearoa. We simply could not do this without the support of our donors and partners. Together with AIA, we share a goal to support healthier New Zealanders - and know that native trees provide a multitude of benefits to both people and planet.
From donating native trees through AIA Vitality and on behalf of life claimants, mucking in at AIA’s annual staff planting day together, to raising awareness in joint campaigns to AIA customers we’re working together to improve the health of our land, and in turn people.
Ehara tāku toa i te toa takitahi, engari takimano. My strength is not that of an individual but that of the collective.
