Hanwha Life Insurance

Established in 1946, Hanwha Life is not only a leading life insurance company but also it is the first and oldest in South Korea. Early on, we played a critical role in developing the industry and the country’s economic growth. In 2018, while expanding, we made sure to remain structurally sound, reporting total assets of USD 102 billion. At the end of 2018, we achieved a 212.2 percent risk-based capital (RBC) ratio, demonstrating the soundness of our asset quality. Our strong ratings from domestic and international agencies attest to our creditworthiness. We have received sterling AAA credit ratings from South Korea’s top rating agencies for the past twelve years. We also earned global credit ratings of A1 from Moody's and A+ from Pitch credit rating agencies in 2018.

Hanwha Life is committed to adding innovative products and services that meet a wide range of customer needs. By upgrading our customer, product, and channel (CPC) strategy, we provide customized products and services that solidify our LIFEPLUS brand. We also innovate by aligning our offerings to customer life stages. Using Big Data to analyze customer needs, behavior, and interests, we systematically apply this knowledge to better satisfy customers. To this end, we’ve trained our customer service professionals at call centers to deliver improved care.

Our efforts have been rewarded with the Grand Prize – the Korea Service Award from the Korea Standards Association in the life insurance sector for eight consecutive years through 2017. We were also inducted into the Hall of Fame. The Quality Index survey, managed by Korea Management Asset Consulting, gave us top ranking for nine straight years for customer service and eight years for our call centers. Since our first certification in 2007, the Korea Fair Trade Commission has awarded Hanwha Life with six consecutive Certifications for Excellence in Consumer-Centered Management (CCM).

In the international market, we lead the industry. Our Vietnam subsidiary was founded in 2008, the first of its kind by a South Korea company. With an effective localization strategy and a strong nationwide sales network, we turned a profit in 2016, a first for a South Korean insurer in Vietnam. Our Chinese subsidiary, Sino-Korea Life Insurance, is expanding its sales territory by entering new markets. In Indonesia, our subsidiary is building a balanced profit structure with a long-term perspective. Moving forward, we are setting the foundation to provide digital financial services in major Asian hubs while we pursue non-insurance products and digital financial businesses in Southeast Asia.

In 2019, Hanwha Life continues to secure profitable structures that support value-based sales and primary profit expansion. We plan to expand our global business and secure growth engines in Fintech and Big Data. We push for innovation and, with each success, we’re inspired to drive forward as a world-class life insurance company.

Capitalizing on extensive experience and technologies gained over the course of numerous construction projects, Hanwha E&C has been rapidly growing into a global player at an annual average growth rate of 20% since 2002. Our competitiveness is internationally recognized, ranking 72nd on the list of Global Contractors announced by the international construction magazine Engineering News Record (ENR) in 2014. Our goal is to become a world-renowned construction company by 2020 with our “Design the World” vision.

In 2012, we signed a contract for a USD 8 billion project to build a new city in Bismayah, Iraq, and in 2015, won a second infrastructure project there. This pushed the total value of contracts won in Iraq above USD 10 billion. In 2014, we demonstrated our technological prowess by building the world’s largest domed arena in the Philippines. We have also signed contracts to build power and petrochemical plants in the Middle East and North Africa, and we are developing large-scale real estate projects in the Americas.

In Korea, one of our major projects is Hanwha E&C’s Dream & Green Incheon EcoMetro. This is the nation’s largest urban development project to date and has elevated our status in the domestic housing construction market. We have also completed a number of other large-scale projects, including the third Gyeongin Freeway, the Pyeongtaek-Siheung Expressway, the privately operated Seoul Station and Cheongnyang- ni Station, the remodeling of the 63 Building and the Galleria Department Store’s Luxury West Wing.
