Taking on the responsibility as a pioneer in sustainable finance, incorporate sustainability as an integral part of the organization
2023 has been a year full of challenges where we had to tackle inflation, interest rate hikes, global geopolitical tension and sluggish global economic growth in the post-pandemic era. In such time of great challenges and opportunities, Cathay Life Insurance is dedicated to its responsibility and commitment towards nearly 20 million insurance policies. By upholding its core values of "Integrity, Accountability, and Creativity," Cathay Life Insurance provides innovative products and services that are customer-oriented, as well as taking on the responsibility as a pioneer in sustainable finance. As such, Cathay Life Insurance works to incorporate sustainability as an integral part of the organization, formulating a strategic roadmap for sustainable development that comprises three major sustainability themes: climate, health and empowerment.
Unwavering Commitment towards Net-Zero Emission Transition
In the face of the increasingly severe climate change impact on the world, it is incumbent upon us to realize net-zero carbon emissions. Nevertheless, zero carbon transition is a marathon journey, of which, financial capital and energy transition are two crucial aspects. Cathay Life Insurance works to lead by example, incorporating ESG topics into the decision-making process of operation and investment. All of which are part of its effort to fulfill the commitment to environmental protection with real actions. Cathay Life Insurance also hopes to use its own financial influence to lead industry transition so that Taiwan can embark on sustainable development.
Commitment to Health Promotion of Fellow Citizens
In response to the advent of aging society, Cathay Life Insurance works to make full use of its value in the financial and insurance segments to proactively establish the health safety net. As such, it has been channeling resources to foster a health ecospher, extending the value of insurance from ex-post compensation to ex-ante prevention. Cathay Life Insurance does so by integrating health promotion, and sub-health and elderly services into spillover-effect insurance policies. This will provide the most comprehensive protection to policyholders of all ages. Such actions aim at looking after the body, caring for the mental health and protecting the financial wealth, for which they will bring about positive energy and create long-term value for society at large.
Contribute to Society with People-Oriented Actions
"People" is the most invaluable asset of Cathay Life Insurance. We encourage our employees to engage in self-learning. By providing diverse development and welfare system, we enable employees to make full use of their talents at the best possible positions, and grow professionally with peace of mind. In response to societal requirements for diversity, Cathay Life Insurance keeps abreast the belief of "happiness is bringing happiness to others." By collaborating with Cathay employees, integrating resources all across Taiwan, and transforming both into a force advocating societal stability, Cathay Life Insurance offers support and care to people, and foster a positive cycle of mutual help in the hope that society is embraced by a spirit of love and solidarity.
In a time of turmoil and great changes, it is like we have embarked on a great quest filled with risks and uncertainties. Cathay Life has been taking root in Taiwan for over 60 years. We hope to make use of our corporate influence to drive advances in industry, as well as collective welfare and prosperity as one society. Together, we shall inaugurate a new chapter of sustainable development in Taiwan, and work the hardest to realize the vision of becoming the best financial institution in the Asia-Pacific region.
