Volunteer Participation at Shin Kong Life

Based on our belief in guardianship and our effort to integrate social welfare action into our core corporate values, SKL actively promotes the Corporate Volunteering Program to encourage our employees to learn about the needs of the society outside of work, so that we can spread love and care to even more corners of the society where care is needed. By participating in these services, corporate volunteers develop a sense of belonging among employees within the company while experiencing the joy and warmth from helping others and enriching areas of life outside of work.

In 2022, our corporate volunteers enthusiastically participated in the Shin Kong Volunteer Corps and various activities across the country such as hiking activities, blood donation campaign, the “Community Care Everywhere" social care events and telemedicine care for the elderly in rural areas. A total of 11,622 people participated in our corporate volunteering program and served as corporate volunteers for up to 69,571.4 hours cumulative over the year, thereby contributing to the society with practical efforts and participation.

It encourages employees, family members, and policyholders to participate in volunteer services, and promotes the concept of corporate volunteering in collaboration with the government. Having gained widespread recognition from the government and all walks of life, Shin Kong Volunteer Corps not only received the National Outstanding Corporate Volunteer Team Award from Taiwan President Ing-Wen Tsai in 2018, but was also invited by the Department of Social Welfare under the Taipei City Government to share the secrets to the successful management of its corporate volunteers at the Taipei Broadcasting Station and the National Volunteer Report Meeting in 2021. In 2022, calling on more people to participate in social welfare activities and give back to the society, Shin Kong Volunteer Corps was invited to participate in the Volunteer Service Workshop for New Sales Representatives, and was awarded the "Outstanding Volunteer Supervisor of Taipei City" by the Department of Social Welfare, Taipei City Government.
