Historical Social Investment
Financial Inclusion
We have long cared for the needs of disadvantaged groups and social enterprises. Through the core businesses of subsidiaries, we devote to provide sustainable financial assistance. In recent years, in combination with the opportunities raised from emerging risk, we have continued to develop various products and services related to social welfare in order to create maximum social benefits and give back to society.
Micro-insurance
To provide disadvantaged groups with basic accident insurance to cover death and disability, China Life Insurance began introducing microinsurance products. Microinsurance has lower premiums, lower insured amount, and easy to understand terms. It comes in four types: accident microinsurance, collective accident microinsurance, group accident microinsurance, and group accident microinsurance for the disadvantaged. The goal is to make basic accident insurance covering death and disability affordable for people with low incomes. With the protection of microinsurance, families can avoid the debilitating financial effects of a major accident. At the same time, China Life Insurance is cooperating with banking channels, government agencies, and private organizations to jointly promote microinsurance. Its efforts to develop new sales outlets and diversify insurance products have been recognized by the competent authority for six consecutive years. This enables China Life Insurance to spread insurance guarantees to all corners where care is needed, thus providing strong support for disadvantaged households. When a microinsurance beneficiary suffers an accidental death, China Life Insurance supports his or her family in preparing all needed documents to quickly release insurance compensation. Families appreciate the care and assistance in overcoming the difficult time they face. In this way, insurance fulfills its role as a stabilizing force. Microinsurance has provided coverage for more than 34,000 eligible disadvantaged groups across Taiwan. In 2020, premium income from microinsurance reached NT$ 8.35 million.
