To support the national poverty eradication strategy and adhere to the concept of impact investment that takes into account social benefits with corporate returns, Ping An launched the “Ping An Rural Communities Support” project in early 2018. The “Ping An Rural Communities Support” Project comprises of the Village Officer Program, the Village Doctor Program, and the Village Teacher Program, aimed to strengthen rural industries, healthcare, and education developments with business returns.
“Ping An Rural Communities Support” has raised customer satisfaction and brand reputation along with financial returns. The company has also developed our own “impact investment” model that created a benchmark for national industrial poverty alleviation in establishing agricultural loans, safe water and electricity loans, and Ping An agricultural insurance.
Ping An will continue to support national targets of poverty elimination by developing business, healthcare, and education systems in rural China.
