At Great Eastern, we do not believe in leaving the future to fate. We believe in shaping it. That’s why we are accelerating our efforts across the region to build a company that is more environmentally conscious and socially responsible. One that plays its part in reversing climate change and contributes meaningfully to the community. From switching to energy-efficient systems to establishing equitable business practices, we are leading the charge to create the change that we want to see. Not just in the financial industry, but the world.
Our latest Sustainability initiatives
Singapore's first Green life plan - GREAT Green SP
Singapore’s first Green life plan, designed to help build a low-carbon economy with investments in sustainability initiatives was launched in 2021. Moving forward, we will be developing more products that allow customers to invest in their future and the planet’s at the same time. Watch this space!
Partnering with the Special Needs Trust Company (SNTC)
As part of our mission to improve lives through financial inclusion, we’ve partnered with the Special Needs Trust Company (SNTC) , Singapore's only non-profit trust company, to provide affordable protection tailored to the needs of families with special needs.
Our Sustainability framework
We are fully aware that as one of the region’s biggest insurance companies, our business decisions can have a major impact on the environment and on society. Which is why we look at progress not just in terms of our financial growth, but also in terms of our economic efficiency and carbon footprint. That means constantly re-examining our policies and practices to ensure our success does not come at the expense of our future generations. To that end, we’ve built our sustainability efforts around three core pillars.
Driving change from within
To foster a culture of corporate sustainability, we have established a Group Board Sustainability Committee (Board SC) to work with our Group Management Committee (GMC) and our Group CEO in ensuring that our strategies align with our long-term sustainability objectives.
