AIICO Insurance Plc, as a good corporate entity, has reiterated its commitment to the Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) adoption towards the achievement of the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by year 2030.

ESG is a framework used to assess various sustainability and ethical issues. While Environmental (E) focuses on a company’s impact on the planet including how businesses manage energy use, waste, pollution, and compliance with environmental regulations; Social (S) refers to a company’s relationship with employees, suppliers, customers, and communities including issues like human rights, diversity, equity, and employee safety.

n her presentation recently at a one-day training workshop organised by the underwriting company for members of the Nigerian Association of Insurance and Pension Editors (NAIPE) in Lagos, Mrs. Abimbola Shobanjo, Head, Corporate Responsibility and Sustainability, highlighted the company’s commitment to ESG and contribution to SDGs.

She said AIICO has introduced Climate-smart initiatives, green office practices and sustainable resource management e.g. calculating baseline emissions, reducing paper consumption as well as adopting hybrid work arrangements aimed at protecting the environment.

Shobanjo hinted at the company’s upcoming employee engagement survey to include a diversity and Inclusion section, community programmes and outreach (CSR initiatives like health, education, financial inclusion).

She said the insurer is contributing to SDGs through its various initiatives namely: Pink by AIICO, ActionAid Nigeria, AIICO Revive, AIICO Blood Drive, World Malaria Day, Health & Safety at AIICO, Global Money Week, Girls in Tech, Academic Support, School Children Outreach Programmes.

Others are AIICO Graduate Trainee Programme, Diversity & Inclusion, International Women’s Day, Tree Planting, Agric Support, AIICO Farming Club, Work from Home (WFH), and Centralised Printing.
