FTSE 100 company reshapes underwriting book to try to meet climate goals via IrishTimesBiz
Adam Winslow, head of Aviva’s general insurance business in the UK and Ireland, said individuals, companies and countries “all have to play their role” in the transition to a climate-friendly economy.
Aviva has already insured its first client in the North Sea and plans to expand its underwriting team behind the wider effort. “We are working on a test-and-learn basis with a handful of select developers and brokers, who understand and will invest in the long-term sustainability and resilience of a building and embrace the need for risk management in the design phase,” Winslow said.
