Rooted in over 190 years of community-focused values, Generali Malaysia has been recognised with the “CSR Initiative of the Year ” award for its impactful, The Human Safety Net (THSN) initiative. Launched globally in 2017, THSN is a movement that aims to create positive change by helping vulnerable communities worldwide.
In Malaysia, Generali Malaysia’s THSN initiative began in 2018 with a focus on supporting vulnerable families with young children. In 2023, Generali Malaysia continued its commitment by raising over RM273,000 for Project Makan Sihat – a company-wide fundraising activity aimed at improving the nutrition and health of high-need families and children in PPR Lembah Subang. The initiative surpassed its initial goal, ranking second globally in the THSN 2023 Global Challenge.
Continuing its effort to empower the communities as part of its year-long agenda, Generali Malaysia has amplified its efforts with additional awareness campaigns, workshops, and family support groups in collaboration with Yayasan Generasi Gemilang, demonstrating its dedication to supporting underserved families.
