AIA Insurance has announced the receipt of ISO 14064 -1:2018 Greenhouse Gas Emissions certification, in yet another manifestation of its commitment to helping people live healthier, longer, better lives.
It said this is a globally respected certification that recognises the company’s commitment to sustainability and its efforts to reduce its carbon footprint and greenhouse gas emissions. Known to uphold the highest international standards and follow a rigorous qualification process, this certification is awarded to companies that demonstrate their ability to measure and reduce their greenhouse gas emissions, while ensuring effective engagement in this regard across the entire organisation.
AIA Insurance has gone through a rigorous process to obtain this Greenhouse Gas Emissions verification. The company has implemented several initiatives to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions, including the adoption of paperless services, energy-efficient lighting and equipment, and the use of renewable energy sources.
“We are proud to have achieved the ISO 14064 -1:2018 Greenhouse Gas Emissions certification, which is a testament to our commitment to sustainability and our efforts to reduce our carbon footprint,” said AIA Sri Lanka CEO Chathuri Munaweera. “As a company that truly cares about not only the present but also the future of our planet, we want to make sure we do everything in our capacity to protect and preserve the world we live in. That is why we will continue to implement sustainable practices to reduce our environmental impact and help create a healthier, greener, better future for all.” “Our understanding is that it may not be typical for companies in the finance industry to pursue such environmental certifications. For AIA nevertheless, it was a priority because it was testament to our purpose, our promise – of helping people live healthier, longer, better lives. And that is why, this is much more than just a recognition for us,” Munaweera said.
This achievement is an important milestone in the company’s sustainability journey and demonstrates its commitment to promoting sustainable practices across the insurance industry.
