Life Insurance
Provides a lump sum payment if you were to pass away or are diagnosed with a terminal illness.
As New Zealand's largest life insurer, we are committed to building a sustainable future for the communities we serve.
Sustainability is fundamental to creating long-term value for all our stakeholders, future proofing our business and delivering on our Purpose of helping people live Healthier, Longer, Better Lives.
Our Environmental, Social and Governance Strategy is built around five pillars: Health & Wellbeing, Sustainable Investment, Sustainable Operations, People & Culture, and Effective Governance. These pillars contribute to a more sustainable and healthier development for Aotearoa New Zealand, our people and communities, as well as the planet. See our latest Sustainability Report via the link above to find out more about our latest initiatives.
The health of the planet is inextricably linked to the health of our communities. Sustaining Healthier, Longer, Better Lives requires us to take action to address climate change, the impact of which continues to be deeply felt in our communities and globally.
In December 2021, AIA Group committed to achieving net-zero greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 2050. AIA Group has also signed up to the Science Based Targets initiatives (SBTi) to set ambitious emission reduction targets in line with the latest climate science deemed necessary to meet the goals of the Paris Agreement.
AIA NZ proudly achieved Toitū carbonreduce certification in 2022 and was recertified in 2023. We’re actively reducing our scope 1 and 2 emissions, and changing the way we operate to help grow a cleaner, healthier Aotearoa New Zealand.
We have been on our carbon and waste reduction journey for over a decade, and in 2019 we began measuring and reporting our greenhouse gas emissions as part of AIA Group.
To make sure we are following best practice, we partnered with Toitū Envirocare in 2021 to improve the efficiency, accuracy and integrity of our emissions management and reporting process. Toitū Envirocare helped us set targets grounded in science aimed at limiting the increase in global average temperature to below 1.5˚C above pre-industrial levels.
AIA NZ achieved Toitū carbonreduce certification for measuring, reducing, and reporting our operational carbon emissions. This means we have accurately measured our greenhouse gas emissions and put in place strategies to manage and reduce impacts.
Small steps to a cleaner, healthier Aotearoa New Zealand
Toitū carbonreduce certification isn’t a one-time achievement. Each year we are audited to retain our certification and show that we’re continuing to reduce our emissions.
In March 2023 we were recertified for 2022. The results of our work with Toitū Envirocare showed that last year our operational carbon emissions were 874tCO2e (tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent). This is primarily derived from the resources and materials that we consume. Leading sources of emissions for AIA NZ are air travel, vehicle emissions and electricity usage in our offices.
Our ambition to continue reducing emissions is embedded across the business. Here are just a few ways that we are doing this:
We are proud to be contributing to a lower carbon future for Aotearoa New Zealand and globally, and supporting New Zealanders to live Healthier, Longer, Better Lives.
AIA NZ is committed to being an inclusive workplace for everyone, that’s why we are proud to be accredited by:
Gender Tick is an accreditation programme for businesses designed to show commitment to providing fair workplaces for all employees regardless of gender. The programme independently assesses employee policies and processes to ensure that businesses are on the right track and are doing the right thing for their people. It’s important to us at AIA NZ because it demonstrates our commitment to gender equity.
The Rainbow Tick is a certification mark for organisations that complete a Diversity & Inclusion assessment process. It tests whether a workplace understands and welcomes sexual and gender diversity, it involves an on-going quality improvement process. Rainbow Tick’s important to AIA NZ because it demonstrates our commitment to the LGBTTQIA+ community. It shows that we embrace the diversity of sexual and gender identities and offer a safe and inclusive workplace.
The Accessibility Tick is the flagship programme of the NZ Disability Employers' Network. It is a member programme designed to help organisations with their strategic journeys to becoming more disability inclusive employers and accessible for disabled people. Participation in the Accessibility Tick programme demonstrates our commitment to an inclusive workplace, with almost a quarter of New Zealanders affected by a physical, sensory, learning, mental health or other impairment. We are committed to working with our AIA NZ whānau to ensure we’re meeting their accessibility needs.
