SINGAPORE--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
ACE Group announced today its third annual Regional ‘Day of Service’ in
Asia Pacific, during which its employees from life and general insurance
operations across the region will devote their time to various
charitable projects during the week of 13-17 October.
ACE’s corporate social responsibility efforts focus on supporting local
communities in which employees live and work. Since 2012, the Regional
‘Day of Service’ has been annual event for employees in Asia Pacific to
engage in a diverse range of local community projects which align with
ACE’s overarching philanthropic support for improving education and
health, alleviating poverty and saving the environment. This year’s ‘Day
of Service’ activities comprise environmental conservation; meals
preparation and restoration of premises for the underprivileged; as well
as blood donation drives. The participating countries include Australia,
Hong Kong, Indonesia, Korea, Malaysia, New Zealand, Philippines,
Singapore, Taiwan, Thailand and Vietnam.
Kick-starting the regional ‘Day of Service’ on 4 and 9 October, ACE’s
operation in Malaysia organized visits for 120 employees to the Cheshire
Home for permanently disabled individuals who do not have the means to
support their daily living. In addition to managing various maintenance
works at the Home’s grounds in the states of Penang and Selangor, ACE’s
volunteers delivered daily necessities to the residents and engaged with
them in dialogue, games and entertainment. Following that on 10 October,
30 volunteers from ACE in Vietnam paid a visit to Christina Noble
Children’s Foundation in Ho Chi Minh City where they spent quality time
with and distributed gifts to over 170 underprivileged children.
Mr. Juan Luis Ortega, Regional President of ACE’s general insurance
operations in Asia Pacific, said, “Corporate social responsibility is an
integral part of ACE. I’m very heartened to see the high levels of
enthusiasm and determination from our colleagues as they go about
organizing their respective community outreach projects as part of the
Regional ‘Day of Service’ which is into its third year. By working hand
in hand with their local charitable partners to ensure that the
philanthropic activities are customized according to their needs, our
colleagues have clearly demonstrated the ‘can do’ attitude that is the
hallmark of ACE.”
Mr. Kevin Goulding, Regional President of ACE’s life operations in Asia
Pacific, added, “It is encouraging to see over 1,000 ACE employees
across Asia Pacific bringing to life some 20 meaningful projects through
active volunteerism. We recognize that our business is not simply about
providing financial protection solutions to our customers, but also
