Aviva commits to improving female financial futures

The insurance giant signed up to both pledges launched as part of the Insuring Women’s Futures manifesto.

The ‘Financial Flexible Working’ pledge commits firms to help their colleagues to understand and manage the long-term financial implications of flexible working. 

The ‘Inclusive Customer Financial Lives’ pledge encourages businesses to adopt an inclusive ‘whole customer’ approach and encourage consumers to consider the impact their decisions have on their finances.
