Across the Group, our people are onboard to help us meet our goals through our dedicated Sustainability and Climate Change Working Groups.
Our purpose is to help more people to look after their future and we believe that we have a key role to play in creating a cleaner, greener planet.
Every day we are working hard to create a sustainable and resilient business for our customers, colleagues, and local communities. We are committed to achieving net zero carbon emissions by 2040. Discover how we aim to achieve this in our Net Zero Transition Plan.

Our aim to help more people to look after their future not only includes our customers, but also our communities and the environment. As a home insurer, we share a vision for a sustainable future where nature and communities thrive and the devastating impact of flooding is reduced.
As part of our Green Fund Initiative, a fund dedicated to supporting environmental sustainability projects, education, and green initiatives to drive positive environmental change, in December 2024, we made a donation to the National Trust’s Riverlands Programme, which fosters climate resilience and enhances natural landscapes in the UK with natural flood management. This includes the restoration of ponds in Bollin, Cheshire, the introduction of mini-dams in Upper Conwy, North Wales, to divert water flow and raise water levels, and the creation of leaky dams, bunds and ponds on the edge of the River Thames to intercept rainfall.
These natural solutions manage water flow and storage, reduce the risk of floods and droughts and create and restore habitats that support a wide range of wildlife.
Size of Wales
As an international business with Welsh roots, we are proud to work with the Size of Wales programme which supports community projects that secure and maintain areas of tropical forest equivalent to or bigger than the size of Wales.
So far, over 4 million hectares have been protected across Sub Saharan Africa, South America and South-East Asia. Our contribution will help absorb over 1000 tonnes of carbon over 30 years, restore biodiversity and provide 60 jobs for local women.
