Dai-ichi Life Vietnam wins two regional awards at Asia Pacific Enterprise Awards 2021

Hosted regionally since 2007 by Enterprise Asia, the Asia Pacific Enterprise Awards (APEA) honour excellence in innovation, products and services, sustainable growth, and social responsibility.

At the ceremony, Dai-ichi Life Vietnam was the only insurer in the industry receiving dual awards, demonstrating the company’s persistent efforts to maintain its sustainable growth in tandem with enhancing social responsibility.

Their work has helped to cement the Vietnamese people’s trust in the premier Japanese life insurance brand through various community support initiatives and other inspirational stories from the brand message Connecting Millions of Love.

This provides encouragement for Dai-ichi Life Vietnam to continue to strive to become the best life insurance company in the nation.”

The organisation has started the year full of energy. Along with debuting new products and services aimed at providing financial protection solutions for customers and their families, Dai-ichi Life Vietnam has been spreading the Connecting Millions of Love campaign to all employees, partners, and customers.

More programmes are to come, including the second edition of the virtual run Dai-ichi – Road of Love 2022, Clean Water for Schools, and Love for Children.

Inspired by Dai-ichi Life Group’s environmental protection campaign, Dai-ichi Life Vietnam is launching Plastic-less for More in March. This is an appeal to promote the use of environmentally-friendly products in order to raise funds for the planting of 1,500 trees and to provide nutritious meals for children.

With its different philosophy, Dai-ichi Life Vietnam will continue its sustainable development strategy, ensuring the harmony of business growth and corporate social responsibility (CSR). The company focuses on a customer-first approach in all aspects of the business and considers customer satisfaction as a measure of success.

“We commit to continuous product innovation, service quality improvements, and digital technology investment to enhance the customer experience,” Quan added.

In 2017, Dai-ichi Life Vietnam was the only life insurer in the country winning the Asia Responsible Entrepreneurship Awards 2017 from Enterprise Asia, highlighting its focus on social responsibility through various ongoing community support programmes, together with the launch of its CSR fund.
