FWD Group Holdings Limited (“FWD Group” or “FWD”) has announced charitable grants to support more than 13,000 people in communities across Asia, marking the company's 13th anniversary. The grants are part of FWD's ongoing commitment to give back to the regions where it operates, focusing on areas such as financial literacy, career readiness, entrepreneurship, health and wellbeing, and community recovery.
Since its establishment in 2013, FWD Group has grown from its initial operations in Hong Kong SAR, Macau SAR, and Thailand into a pan-Asian life and health insurer serving millions of customers across 10 markets. In July 2025, the company reached a significant milestone with its listing on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange under the stock code 1828.
Huynh Thanh Phong, Group Chief Executive Officer and Executive Director of FWD Group, emphasized the importance of community support: “At FWD Group, changing the way people feel about insurance is about much more than looking after our customers – it’s also about supporting the communities where we operate. These 13 grants are a meaningful way to give back to the people and places that have been part of our journey. Together with trusted community partners, we hope to make a real difference in people’s lives, while also bringing our caring value to life through employee volunteering.”
