Assurance Comment from EY on Corporate Responsibility Governance
During a series of dedicated interviews with the Chief Financial Officer, Corporate Quality Manager and members of the
AIA CR Committee (which includes Directors & Managers from Corporate Planning, Aviation Services, Communications
& Marketing, Human Resources, Environmental and Corporate Quality), we discussed AIA’s governance structure
regarding non-financial management and reporting and the overall emphasis placed on integrating sustainability throughout
operations. In this context, we substantiated the CFO’s supervising role on non-financial reporting, through the annual
presentation to the Audit Committee, as well as through regular reporting to the CEO. Additionally, we reviewed evidence of
the 2015 Operational Scorecard and substantiated inclusion of sustainability-related objectives and non-financial indicators.
Finally, we reviewed the CR Committee’s involvement in the development of the CR Action Plan and 2015 materiality
