Aviva's environmental, social and governance track record
Environmental, social and governance (known as ESG) criteria are a set of three factors used to measure the sustainability and social impact of companies like Aviva.
When it comes to ESG scores, lower is better, and lower scores are generally associated with lower risk for would-be investors.
Aviva's total ESG risk score
Total ESG risk: 26.64
Socially conscious investors use ESG scores to screen how an investment aligns with their worldview, and Aviva's overall score of 26.64 (as at 01/01/2019) is pretty good – landing it in it in the 37th percentile of companies rated in the same sector.
ESG scores are increasingly used to estimate the level of risk a company like Aviva is exposed to within the areas of "environmental" (carbon footprint, resource use etc.), "social" (health and safety, human rights etc.), and "governance" (anti-corruption, tax transparency etc.).
Aviva's environmental score
Environmental score: 4.45/100
Aviva's environmental score of 4.45 puts it squarely in the 5th percentile of companies rated in the same sector. This could suggest that Aviva is a leader in its sector terms of its environmental impact, and exposed to a lower level of risk.
Aviva's social score
Social score: 14.07/100
Aviva's social score of 14.07 puts it squarely in the 5th percentile of companies rated in the same sector. This could suggest that Aviva is a leader in its sector when it comes to taking good care of its workforce and the communities it impacts.
Aviva's governance score
Governance score: 13.12/100
Aviva's governance score puts it squarely in the 5th percentile of companies rated in the same sector. That could suggest that Aviva is a leader in its sector when it comes to responsible management and strategy, and exposed to a lower level of risk.
Aviva's controversy score
Controversy score: 2/5
ESG scores also evaluate any incidences of controversy that a company has been involved in. Aviva scored a 2 out of 5 for controversy – the second-highest score possible, reflecting that Aviva has, for the most part, managed to keep its nose clean.
Aviva share dividends
We're not expecting Aviva to pay a dividend over the next 12 months.
Have Aviva's shares ever split?
Aviva's shares were split on a 76:100 basis on 16 May 2022. So if you had owned 100 shares the day before before the split, the next day you'd have owned 76 shares. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your Aviva shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 31.6% higher share price could have impacted the market appetite for Aviva shares which in turn could have impacted Aviva's share price.
Aviva share price volatility
Over the last 12 months, Aviva's shares have ranged in value from as little as 348.6312p up to 444.2743p. A popular way to gauge a stock's volatility is its "beta".
Beta is a measure of a share's volatility in relation to the market. The market (LSE average) beta is 1, while Aviva's is 1.0263. This would suggest that Aviva's shares are a little bit more volatile than the average for this exchange and represent, relatively-speaking, a slightly higher risk (but potentially also market-beating returns).
