We are delighted to congratulate our customer, Aviva, for its recognition at the recent 2024 Verdantix Climate Innovation Awards. At the award ceremony held in London, UK on November 26, Aviva, the UK’s leading diversified insurer, was named winner of the ‘Climate Digital Champion Award’ alongside Cority for a joint transformative sustainability project. This accolade celebrates Aviva’s ambitious sustainability goals, achieved with Cority’s Sustainability Cloud solution, in response to evolving environmental, social, and governance (ESG) demands.
In early 2023, Aviva, a leader in ESG with deep-rooted sustainability ambitions, selected Cority’s solution to unify and enhance its data management across global markets, drive accuracy, and streamline reporting on climate and sustainability metrics. This collaboration provided Aviva with a centralized, robust toolset, capable of automating data flows and optimizing emissions reporting and sustainability disclosures aligned with regulatory frameworks, including CDP, DJSI/CSA, and UNGC.
“We are thrilled to be recognized with Aviva for our work in supporting their goals to address climate change and embed sustainability across their business,” said Alex Hardwick, Director of Sustainability Planning & Enablement. “With Cority’s Sustainability Cloud, Aviva’s sustainability team has streamlined their processes, improved data accuracy, and gained valuable insights to drive climate impact reduction—all essential steps in their journey toward a more sustainable future.”
