HONG KONG, CHINA - Media OutReach - March 21, 2018 -
MetLife Hong Kong Named "Caring Company" for the Sixth Consecutive Year.
Ms. Carolyn Chung, Head of Corporate Marketing and
Communications of MetLife Hong Kong, said, "We are honored to receive this
recognition year after year. It is a great encouragement and affirmation of our
philanthropic culture. We take pride in helping all members of the Hong Kong
community. This is certainly a tradition we will build upon in the years ahead
as we continue to support local charities and non-profit organizations to help
people and the community navigate life together."
MetLife Hong Kong has made significant
contributions to the community not only through volunteer and philanthropic
work but also by promoting health and wellness in Hong Kong. For the 1 in 10
people in Hong Kong living with diabetes1, MetLife Hong Kong has
worked to raise awareness of diseases prevention and management by partnering
with the Diabetic Support Group and sponsoring diabetes management activities. MetLife
Hong Kong held educational seminars to raise awareness of the rising trend of
diabetes cases and their associated health risks. In addition, MetLife Hong
Kong has extended the scope of its MetLife Health-is-Wealth Medical Plan to
include people living with diabetes, and offered its customers insurtech
solutions for proactive health management.
MetLife Hong Kong is dedicated to promoting a
culture of corporate social responsibility across all levels throughout the
company. To encourage employee participation in volunteer programs, MetLife
grants employees a full day of paid volunteer leave each year. MetLife's
management team also takes the lead and shows ongoing support in many community
programs, including Room to Read's Literacy Program, MetLife Health Day and the
Pink Heels Race.
Launched by The Hong Kong Council of Social
Service, the Caring Company Scheme aims at cultivating good corporate
citizenship. The "Caring Company" logo is bestowed to organizations
that demonstrate enduring efforts in caring for the community, employees and
the environment.
