How do I report a concern?
Report or discuss concerns directly with the Speak Up team at speakup@aviva.com
Alternatively, visit AvivaSpeakUp.ethicspoint.com to raise your concern anonymously either online or via telephone.
You can also scan the QR code below to raise a report directly via your mobile phone.
How will I be protected if I report a concern?
We won’t tolerate retaliation against anyone who speaks up.
If you believe you’ve been unfairly treated because you’ve reported a concern, please contact Speak Up. They will independently review your circumstances.
Our Speak Up team will keep what you tell them confidential during the investigation and afterwards, unless the law tells otherwise.
There may be times when our Speak Up team can’t resolve your concern without revealing your identity. For example, where your personal evidence is required. If that’s the case, they’ll always ask for your agreement first to the extent permissible by law.
If you report a concern anonymously, it can be more difficult for us to investigate, protect your position, or give you feedback on the outcome. But we would much rather you report your concern anonymously than not at all.
