Singapore, Dec 18:
AIA Singapore today announced that they have invested over S$5 million in several community initiatives to comprehensively support Singaporeans throughout 2020.These include holistic efforts to making quality healthcare accessible to all, providing monetary assistance for their employees, boosting the mental resilience of working Singaporeans amid a trying time for mental health, and creating employment opportunities in the financial sector.
Committed to nurturing future generations and doing their part for the community, the life insurer also continues to do good by practicing corporate social responsibility even in a fiscally challenging climate. This year, AIA Singapore raised over S$550,000 for their two adopted charities, Children's Wishing Well and the VIVA Foundation for Children with Cancer. The funds raised come on top of AIA Singapore's multi-million dollar investment in keeping the community resilient as Singapore transitions to its eventual Phase 3 reopening.
Ms Wong Sze Keed, Chief Executive Officer of AIA Singapore, said, "The COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted the important role insurers play in society. It is a chance for life insurers like us to show Singaporeans that we care about their holistic wellness and safeguarding every aspect of their health and wellbeing when they need it the most. We have taken it upon ourselves to find new and timely ways to put our people–our employees, insurance representatives, customers and the wider Singapore community — first by providing them with peace of mind whilst living amid this uncertainty. We will continue to honour this commitment in 2021, delivering on our promise of enabling healthier, longer, better lives."
