We are aiming to have Net Zero carbon emissions from Aviva's operations and supply chain by 2030. While we are working towards our sustainability ambitions, we recognise that while we have control over Aviva's operations and influence on our supply chain, when it comes to decarbonising the economy in which we operate and invest, Aviva is one part of a far larger global ecosystem. There are also limits to our ability to influence other organisations and governments. Nevertheless, we remain focused on the task and are committed to playing our part in the collective effort to enable the global transition.
