Our Sustainable Strategy is bolstered by our PRU ChangeMakers.
At Prudential, we’re proud of the progress that we are making towards our Environmental, Social & Governance (ESG) commitments. By remaining focused on Helping people thrive, Building a greener future, and Leading by example, we are continuing to make healthcare affordable, protect people’s wealth, and grow their assets. In this article, Kerry Adams-Strump, Director of Group ESG at Prudential introduces some of the ways we are doing this.
We continue to serve first-time customers and under-served communities through a range of innovations, such as our bite-sized products, to support health and wellbeing. And we are strengthening our efforts further to create inclusive workplaces and support communities, while celebrating diversity in thought and culture.
We bring our commitments to life in many important ways. Last year, we unveiled a pledge to become a Net-Zero asset owner by 2050, committing to specific targets to decarbonise our considerable financial assets. You can hear more about how we are doing that in our video at the bottom of this page.
We support our sustainability activity through good governance and sensible business practices, as well as responsible investments and community engagement activities.
As we look ahead, we recognise that true change doesn’t happen overnight. It occurs gradually. One first needs to have a change of heart, and then a change of mind, before actions follow.
Every day across Prudential, we find colleagues going ‘above and beyond’ the expectations from their roles. So, we are ensuring that they are recognised and celebrated by others within, and hopefully, outside Prudential.
We have started to showcase portraits and stories of colleagues, who are living our Values and making our business more sustainable, through a Podcast series called PRU ChangeMakers.
You can listen to our podcast featuring Dr Dian Budiani, Chief Operations and Health Officer at Prudential Indonesia and a podcast featuring Isioma Olowu, Chief Commercial Officer at Prudential Zenith Life in Nigeria, both are at the bottom of this page.
We will continue to shine a light on the inspiring work being done every day by our ChangeMakers in the months ahead.
By celebrating the passion and dedication that our colleagues bring to work every day, we intend to reinforce our objective of creating a better future, together with you.
