We're proud to announce that we're donating €5 million in funding to the Nature Trust, a not-for-profit company backed by Coillte and Forestry Partners, to help accelerate its native afforestation project.
The funding, the largest the Nature Trust has received to date, will result in the planting of approximately 1.2 million native tree saplings, creating 400 hectares (almost 1,000 acres) of new native woodlands across a number of sites throughout Ireland - equivalent to the size of over 560 Aviva Stadium pitches.
This is a major step towards our net zero by 2040 goal.
Commenting, Declan O'Rourke, CEO, Aviva Insurance Ireland said "Sustainability is of strategic importance to us as a business. Funding afforestation is one of the many ways that we will positively impact communities and provide environmental and recreational benefits to the public, whilst creating a legacy for our customers, communities and the environment. It's wonderful to think that our children and grandchildren will be able to enjoy these woodlands in the future"
We're awarding €120,000 to 27 projects across Ireland as nominated by brokers. The closing date for submissions has been extended to 4th November 2022 so there's still time for you to nominate a great cause in your community.
