Receiving this esteemed award bears testament to the company's dedication in providing an employee-friendly work environment and supporting local community projects. The company's health and wellness measures include flexible work schedules for employees who need to accommodate family commitments, paid paternity leave ahead of the introduction of statutory paternity leave in Hong Kong, health workshops or sports activities to help staff relieve stress, and more.

Other than employee focused initiatives, ACE Life has long been a supporter of various local community campaigns. These include being the main sponsor of "Project PC Needy Reboot", a project encouraging donation of discarded computers to the underprivileged; partnering with NGOs to arrange yacht tours for underprivileged families to visit Lamma Island; and volunteering to help turn recycled unconsumed food into approximately 1,400 sets of nutritious hot meals for needy people.

Allan Lam, Country President of ACE Life in Hong Kong, said, "We believe our employees are the company's most important asset, and our strong commitment to a family-friendly workplace aims to strengthen the tripartite links between the organization, employees and their family members. Another area of our CSR focus is supporting the local communities where our employees live and work. We are dedicated to leading our employees to making a difference in the lives of the underprivileged and to protecting the environment. We hope our employees can then, in turn, extend this love and care to our customers in order to become their preferred choice for quality insurance products and services."

Now in its ninth year, the Hong Kong Leaders' Choice Award celebrates and recognizes brand excellence by polling 1,000 leading corporations in Hong Kong. This year's awards comprised four categories.  Winners were first nominated by the public and voted by a group of industry professional judges formed by corporate leaders, business tycoons and renowned representatives of different sectors. This year's prizes were awarded at Metro Finance's anniversary annual dinner cum Hong Kong Leaders' Choice Awards presentation ceremony.
