Understanding customers' needs for developing innovative products received multiple recognitions
FWD's "Crisis OneMaster" series won the grand award in the "Most Innovative Product/Service Award – Health" category. This marks the sixth consecutive year that FWD's health protection products have been recognised in this category, demonstrating the strength and innovation of FWD's products. The series2 continues the concept of family protection3, providing coverage for three generations and helping the "Gen Sando" cope with potential elderly critical illness protection. In addition, "FWD Care" provides a wide range of services to support and ensure customers are well taken care of throughout the journey from prevention, treatment to recovery.

Furthermore, FWD ranked top-three in the "Most Innovative Product/Service Award - General Insurance" category for its innovative "MyTravel Insurance"4.

Leading the industry's digital transformation and became a driving force for innovation
FWD won all digital-related awards once again, including applying artificial intelligence ("AI") and strengthening partner relationships through digitalisation. In response to growing customer demand for AI applications, FWD actively explores the use of AI in underwriting and claims services to streamline processes. This resulted in FWD being awarded for the "Excellence in Digital Transformation Award" for its "Digital Empowered Partnership and AI Operation" project, marking the second consecutive year FWD has received the grand award. This project integrates internal and external data to enhance service efficiency and customer satisfaction, and drive business growth.

FWD also prioritises digital marketing excellence. The "One for All" digital marketing campaign leverages data-driven strategies to address the diverse needs of various target audiences while revolutionising communication models. This campaign has successfully enhanced brand awareness and marketing efficiency, earning FWD the "Outstanding Digital Marketing Campaign Award" grand award for the third consecutive year.

FWD fosters strong customer engagements by organising life experiences and cultural activities, offering reward programmes, and providing valuable health-related information. Through creative interactions on the FWD MAX lifestyle experience platform and connecting the community with the conservation and revitalisation of FWD HOUSE 1881, FWD won the grand award in the new award category "Excellence in Customer Acquisition and Engagement Award."

Committed to cultivating talent development, community care, and building foundations for business expansion
FWD is committed to nurturing talent. Through comprehensive and systematic training, FWD grows alongside its tied agency force to achieve outstanding results. FWD's "STAR-maker programme (TTPS)" training programme was listed as top-three finalist in the "Outstanding Training & Development Award", marking the third consecutive year that FWD has been recognised in this category. The programme targets promising talents in Mainland China, is highly beneficial to FWD's Greater Bay Area strategy. FWD is also committed to building a professional tied agency force and cultivating future leaders, an achievement that has earned ample recognition from the judges.

FWD Regional Director, Charleson Ng, was among the top-three finalist in his first time competing for "Outstanding Agent of the Year." With extensive experience in the insurance industry, Ng upholds professional standards in providing customers with insurance and financial services, transforming teams, and embracing the latest technologies.

In addition, Dr. Lester Lee, FWD Executive Regional Director, was among the top three finalist in the "Outstanding Community Intermediary of the Year", demonstrating FWD's unwavering commitment to community care and bringing positive changes.

The Hong Kong Insurance Awards, organised by the Hong Kong Federation of Insurers, is a highly respected award which recognises outstanding achievements and innovative performance among the insurance industry in Hong Kong. This year's success continues FWD's winning streak at the Hong Kong Insurance Awards last year, and follows FWD's record-breaking performance at the Bloomberg Businessweek/Chinese Edition "Financial Institutions 2024" earlier this year.
