    WORKING towards an inclusive society by using sports as a platform is a key focus in FWD Group's community-driven initiatives.

    The insurance provider hopes to use sports to break down structural, logistical and societal barriers faced by individuals with intellectual disabled when it comes to access to healthcare and employment.

    In February 2018, FWD Group signed a US$1.25-million three-year partnership with the Special Olympics in the Asia Pacific to sponsor its Unified Schools and Athlete Leadership programmes.
