As a health expert, Manulife believes that we can make a difference for our community by using our expertise and mobilising our networks and resources in this aspect. A key focus of our health and wellness drive is heart health. We have made consistent efforts to engage our employees and the community to move more and enjoy better heart health.
Joining the global effort to raise awareness of heart health, Manulife started a global partnership with the World Heart Federation in 2017. Since then, our offices across the globe have been actively spearheading key initiatives revolving around heart health, including World Heart Day and World Hypertension Day. Our global activations engage both employees and the mass public in a variety of educational sessions and heart-healthy activities.
We wear pink and raise funds for the Hong Kong Cancer Fund’s annual Pink Revolution campaign. Our support for this meaningful course continues over a decade.
We have taken part in the Walk to help raise money for social welfare agencies affiliated with the Hong Kong Community Chest, and to help our employees become more engaged in a healthy, active lifestyle. Thousands of Manulife employees, agents and their families join the walk each year, and in total we have raised about HK$20 million for the charity organisations.
Over 10,000 Manulifers have bared their arms to give blood to the Hong Kong Red Cross Blood Transfusion Services in the past 35-plus years.
To provide a holistic environment that nurtures talents, Manulife has offered the Manulife-Canadian International School of Hong Kong Scholarships since 1997. The aim of this initiative is to build a stronger future by encouraging talented children to receive first-class education.
Application for the Scholarship for the 2020/2021 school year was closed on February 14, 2020. To learn more about the scholarship program, please click here.
To empower children with special educational needs, we partnered with the Heep Hong Society to set up the Manulife Children’s Resource Centre in 2012. Located in Lam Tin, it is the first such facility in the district and is equipped with rooms for speech and play therapies.
Manulife is committed to fostering a pleasant and sustainable environment for our stakeholders and for future generations to live and grow up in. In addition to getting hands on much needed conservation works, we are making stride to reducing paper use in our business process.
We are digitizing our key operations for the benefit of our customers and the environment. Our claims submission processes have also been digitized to reduce the use of paper. Now, claims can be submitted in as fast as one minute and digitally on ClaimSimple.hk. Each year, this initiative helps save about 400,000 sheets of A4 paper.
Manulife volunteers are active in environmental conservation. Partnering with The Conservancy Association, Manulife volunteers planted seedlings in Tai Lam Country Park’s Manulife Tree Zone. Our volunteers’ efforts also include eco-paddy rice planting in Long Valley and laying the lawns at the WWF Island House Conservation Studies Centre.
