HONG KONG<\/span><\/span>, Nov. 20, 2024<\/span><\/span> \/PRNewswire\/ — Zurich Insurance (Hong Kong<\/span>) <\/b>(“Zurich<\/span>“) is committed to sustainability and has long been committed to promoting eco-friendly practices and healthier lifestyles within the community. As the first international insurance group to pledge support for the Paris Agreement in the fight against global warming, Zurich<\/span> is targeting net-zero emissions by 2030. Beyond minimizing its carbon footprint in daily operations, Zurich<\/span> integrates sustainability into our\u00a0product and service offerings, expanding our Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) framework to deliver long-term value to customers. This unwavering commitment and outstanding performance have earned Zurich<\/span> the “Excellence in ESG and Sustainability Award” at the Hong Kong Insurance Awards, hosted by the Hong Kong Federation of Insurers, for three consecutive years, underscoring both industry and public acclaim for our ESG strategy.<\/p>\n

As part of Zurich’s<\/span> ESG\u00a0commitment, we are proud to announce\u00a0our collaboration\u00a0with Negawatt Utility Limited <\/b>(“Negawatt”) and Cornerstone Technologies<\/b>. Leveraging our expertise in distinct areas, we aim to accelerate the evolution of a sustainable ecosystem within the community, starting with green mobility. The\u00a0gamified app, ZERO2, launched by Negawatt<\/b>, partners with\u00a0numerous eco-friendly merchants to offer free gifts and discounts, encouraging individual users to complete various ESG tasks. This fosters the development of daily sustainable habits and reduces carbon emissions. Notably, ZERO2 is\u00a0Hong Kong’s largest ESG rewards platform in terms of\u00a0the number of users\u00a0and the only pioneering\u00a0ESG lifestyle app approved to join the HKQAA ESG Connect program.\u00a0Meanwhile, Cornerstone Technologies<\/b>, a premier electric vehicle (EV) charging service provider in Hong Kong<\/span>, has established an extensive EV charging network, making significant positive impact on the environment. It offers a range of\u00a0charging solutions to promote\u00a0EV adoption and green\u00a0transport, contributing to a low-carbon future.<\/p>\n

In this collaboration, Zurich<\/span>, Negawatt and Cornerstone Technologies will work closely together in the areas of environmental (E), social (S) and governance (G), leveraging their capabilities to create synergies and strengthen ESG efforts. To champion\u00a0carbon reduction initiatives, the tri-party alliance invites\u00a0individuals\u00a0to complete various tasks, such as using Cornerstone’s\u00a0EV charging services to earn Zero2 points and support environmental protection (E). In recognition of these efforts, Zurich<\/span> offers insurance discounts and provides protection, creating a positive social impact (S). The ZERO2 app helps users track and verify data that contributes positively to the environment, providing solid proof for program evaluation and ensuring precise governance (G). This, in turn, enables us to analyze data in a timely manner, adjust ESG strategies and achieve optimal carbon reduction results.<\/p>\n
