The conference attracted more than 3,000 live viewers and engaged close to 900 employees at local in- person watch parties. The conference was presented on a gamified platform where employees could participate in interactive activities, games and quizzes to learn tips on taking sustainable action. Participation in the activities also earned employee points that were converted to monetary contributions for social and environmental impact projects in Asia.
In 2024, AIA Group launched AIA CAN, a Group-wide, multi-year eco- office movement aimed at raising the awareness of sustainability practices within the office, inspiring employees and driving behavioural change across six areas: • waste management • energy usage • water usage • travel and transportation • sustainable procurement • environmental wellness. AIA CAN is supported by a guidebook and checklist that helps local AIA businesses run sustainability-related employee programmes in their markets. A purpose-built digital dashboard tracks and measures the progress of each business unit. Throughout 2024, ESG representatives across AIA Group actively completed eco-office initiatives in the AIA CAN checklist, such as replacing personal bins with communal recycling bins, using energy-efficient LED lighting, and promoting the use of reusable items within the office.
Business units also organised sustainability events such as beach clean-ups, recycling workshops and more, aimed at engaging employees in creating a more sustainable workplace and fostering their sense of environmental responsibility. AIA NZ achieved silver status in 2024. Our Whai Ora week provided an excellent platform for our AIA Can initiatives which included a recycling store hosted by Auckland Council and a pop-up bookswap. We also organised a guided e-bike ride through Auckland Transport Travelwise. Our AIA Vitality Ambassador Ian Jones joined our employees as they learnt about cycling commuting. Other initiatives such as our Winter Energy Quiz and annual tree planting event both proved to be a great success. A gamified virtual launch AIA Group launched AIA CAN via a virtual conference featuring Group Chief Executive and President Lee Yuan Siong, Executive Committee members, business unit CEOs and sustainability changemakers, who discussed the urgent need for climate action.
