The International Cooperative and Mutual Insurance Federation (ICMIF) has approved Aviva Investors, the global asset management arm of Aviva plc, as a member of the representative body.
Specifically, Aviva Investors will become a ‘Supporting Member’, which sees it join a list of five other companies from around the world. As a supporting member, Aviva Investors is viewed as a supplier that is considered important to the member-owned insurance sector.
Supporting Members work in partnership with the ICMIF and its members in helping to expand and advance the mutual and cooperative insurance industry.
Aviva Investors’ Chief Executive Officer (CEO), Euan Munro, said: “We are delighted to be accepted as a member of ICMIF. This has come in recognition of our environmental, social and governance work, which is integrated throughout our investment activities and strategies.
“Our core values complement those of ICMIF and its membership. By working together, we can grow awareness and understanding on the key issues we face as an industry and, collectively, shape its long-term future.”
Shaun Tarbuck, the CEO of the ICMIF, added: “We welcome Aviva Investors as a Supporting Member of ICMIF. Responsible investment and ESG are increasingly important to our members, having recently undertaken a consultation and subsequently formed a series of working groups with the UN.
“Aviva Investors is one of the leading brands in this area and can help ICIMF and our members take meaningful strides in tackling critical issues that go beyond the borders of our industry.”
