Fair Treatment of Customers

SKL upholds the spirit of "Friendly Service." "Ethical Business," and the "Principle for Financial Service Industries to Treat Customers Fairly" as the core values and behavioral guidelines to establish a corporate culture centered around "fair treatment of customers," and to further enhance the accessibility, usability, service quality, and consumer rights protection of financial services.

Realizing Fair Treatment of Customers

By continuously promoting fair treatment of customers, implementing financial inclusive practices, and fostering social common good, SKL constantly promotes financial insurance knowledge to enable consumers to understand the importance of insurance. Additionally, proactive measures are taken to provide more in-person or digital care services to elderly and disabled policyholders, demonstrating our commitment to fair treatment of customers as we strive to become the most trusted leading life insurance brand among policyholders.

 
Treating Customers Fairly Committee

SKL formulated the "Fair Treatment of Customers Policy" and the "Strategy of Treating Customers Fairly" in 2016, and authorized the President to establish the "Treating Customers Fairly Committee" in 2019, which consists of six working groups and three supervisory units responsible for supervising the implementation of the fair treatment of customers and reporting the results to the Audit Committee and the Board of Directors for approval on a regular basis. To protect the rights and interests of our policyholders, we have implemented a top-down culture of treating customers fairly, making it one of the Company's DNA.
