We are deeply invested in our people, our communities and the planet. If there was ever any doubt about the importance of our purpose - With you today, for a better tomorrow - 2020 provided the answer. Being there for people when it really matters is why we exist, and the past year truly put that to the test. Chair and Group CEO comments George Culmer, Chair “If the pandemic has taught us anything, it is that we are ever more closely connected in this world. No-one can sensibly argue that a company can create value without looking beyond narrow shareholder interest to recognise the benefits or harms that it contributes to society more widely.” Amanda Blanc, Group CEO “I am pleased to report the strong progress we have made towards our strategic priorities in the short period of time since I became CEO, but it is not lost on me that there is much to do. Aviva has significant untapped potential, and I am determined to realise it for our shareholders, our customers and our people.” 2020 financial highlights £3,161m Group adjusted operating profit1,R 2019: £3,184m £2,492m Operating profit from core markets 2019: £2,558m £1,500m Cash remittances2,R 2019: £2,597m £1,359m Cash remittances from core markets 2019: £1,909m 60.8p Operating earnings per share 2019: 60.5p 31% Solvency II debt leverage ratio2 2019: 31% 202% Solvency II shareholder cover ratio2,R 2019: 206% 21.0p Total dividend 2019: 15.5p Creating a better tomorrow Acting responsibly and sustainably means we can look after our customers, protect the planet, and help build resilient communities that can thrive.
