In her new role at Aviva, Chew will be responsible for the group's climate and nature policies. Her remit extends to the group's investment and insurance operations, but the location of her base within the company has not been specified.
Chew is also a member of an Editorial Steering Committee, according to her profile on a professional networking website. This role underscores her commitment to driving change and promoting sustainable practices within the financial industry.
With her extensive experience in climate change, sustainable finance, and ESG integration, Chew is well-positioned to lead Aviva's environmental policy engagement efforts. Her appointment is a significant step forward in Aviva's commitment to tackling climate change and promoting sustainable development.
Samantha Chew's extensive background in environmental-science, particularly climate-change and sustainable finance, will aid her in spearheading Aviva's group climate and nature policies within the investment and insurance operations.
