Auckland, 26 January 2021 – AA Insurance has just announced the publication of its first Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) Report.
The report communicates the general insurer’s CSR approach and progress on a range of environmental and social topics that impact the business and its customers. Showcasing the company’s strong focus on its people and, following the general principles of sustainability reporting, the report also shares the results of measuring its first year of carbon emissions, evidencing its commitment to a low-carbon future.
“At AA Insurance we're committed to looking after our customers and people as well as what’s important to them – like their communities and the environment,” says Nikki Howell, GM People & Capability for AA Insurance. “We’re more than just insurance; we’re working towards a brighter future for the next generation of New Zealanders.
As a business built on the premise of ‘doing the right thing’, establishing a formal Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) framework in 2019 created the opportunity to be more transparent, she explains. “An initial focus identified the development of an annual CSR Report, and because of the work our people do day-in-day-out, we knew there was already a story waiting to be shared.”
“We are so proud of everyone’s collective hard work to support each other, our customers and our community,” continues Nikki, “and hope our unique culture and authenticity brings this to life through the words and visuals for those who read our 2020 Corporate Social Responsibility Report.”
