Sustainability
In early 2022, we became the UK’s first carbon positive pet insurance company. That means we remove more CO2 than we create.
This wouldn’t have been possible without everyone in the incredible Agria team each playing a part in helping us to be green and sustainable.
Hear from Janet, our Commercial Director and UK Sustainability Lead, and Chantelle our partner from Eco Offset, about the difference we are making every day.

In our pursuit of inclusivity, we are dedicated to:
