At Agria Pet Insurance, we know our pets’ well-being depends on a thriving planet. From green forests to roam with our horses, to clean air and water for our dogs and cats, each of our precious pets benefits when we take care of our shared environment. That’s why we’ve been working hard to make sustainability a core part of what we do.
Over the years, we’ve discovered how many small changes, like cutting back on paper use and planting trees, can lead us to bigger plans about the future we want for our pets. That’s why we’re proud to share with you our 10-Point Promise to the Planet.
It’s our commitment to protecting what matters most, our pets, people, and the places we call home.

- 1
PROTECT
We pledge to safeguard pets, people, and the planet, working towards a healthier environment for all. By focusing on carbon-positive operations and eco-friendly practices, we ensure that every tail wag, purr, and neigh has a brighter future.

GROW
Our mission is to expand green spaces through tree planting, develop our team's personal potential, and increase insured pets' access to quality healthcare.

MEASURE
We’re committed to tracking our environmental footprint, continuously assessing our impact so we can keep improving. Whether it’s counting how many trees we plant or calculating the carbon pawprint of our policies, measurement is a tool to help us drive change.

REDUCE
We aim to reduce incidences of treatable illnesses in pets through our comprehensive insurance policies, while minimising our carbon footprint every year too. We are working to lower carbon emissions from our day-to-day activities and minimise paper use through digital communication. By reducing waste, we’re helping to create a cleaner, greener world, one that’s safer for our pets and us too.

COLLABORATE
Working closely with our employees, local communities, and animal welfare groups is key. Together, we can increase our shared impact on health, wellbeing, and the environment. When we pool our resources, everyone benefits, pets included!

GIVE
We pledge to give back more than we take, whether it’s through balancing twice our carbon emissions or donating crucial funds to our charity partners. Our goal is simple, we want to ensure that every policy contributes to a healthier planet for animals and people alike.

RECYCLE
Everything we use, we strive to repair, repurpose, or recycle, keeping waste out of landfills. From office supplies to event materials, we always look for ways to keep items in circulation and reduce pressure on natural resources.

ENGAGE
We’re working to raise awareness among pet owners about how simple choices, from eco-friendly pet toys to digital policy documents, can make a big difference. By sharing tips and tools, it’s easier for you to join us in making every paw and hoof print kinder to the earth.

INNOVATE
Our focus is on discovering new, planet friendly ways of working and being the pioneer in industry-leading products, like the UK's only lifetime horse insurance We’re looking at new, planet-friendly ways of working, whether it’s championing hybrid vehicles or introducing carbon “hoofprint” calculators for horse owners. We want to stay on the cutting edge of sustainability for all species.

ACT
We promise to act on our sustainability goals and encourage others to do the same. By remaining accountable and transparent, we hope to inspire pet owners and industry partners to move towards a more sustainable tomorrow.
