Ping An Unveils its 2025 Sustainability Report

Ping An Insurance (Group) Company of China, Ltd. has recently released its 2025 Sustainability Report. A key highlight of this report is the introduction of the "SIMPLE" framework, which demonstrates Ping An's commitment to integrating sustainability across its core business operations. This new approach is structured around six strategic pillars designed to generate long-term value not just for the company itself, but also for its customers, employees, shareholders, and society at large.

Overview of the SIMPLE Framework

The SIMPLE framework outlines Ping An's sustainability philosophy through six main dimensions:

1. Sustainable: Ensuring Long-Term Stability and Growth

Through its integrated financial services strategy, Ping An is reinforcing its support for critical sectors that drive long-term economic growth. In 2025, the Group allocated over RMB 10.88 trillion in funding to promote the real economy, highlighting its commitment to aligning corporate value with broader economic progress. The report shows that sustainable insurance premium income surged to RMB 730.8 billion, marking a 16.1% year-over-year increase. Additionally, the Group reported responsible banking balances of approximately RMB 1.3 trillion and responsible investment assets totaling RMB 1.0426 trillion, a remarkable 22.7% increase from 2024.

2. Inclusion: Expanding Access to Financial Services

Ping An is actively working to broaden access to financial services while unlocking the potential within underserved markets. By the end of 2025, inclusive insurance products generated RMB 179.723 billion in premium income, extending risk protection to nearly 2.93 million small and micro enterprises. Furthermore, loan balances for small and micro businesses reached approximately RMB 484.5 billion, benefitting around 910,000 enterprises.

3. Mitigation: Proactive Risk Management

In a bid to transform traditional insurance roles, Ping An is positioning itself as a proactive risk management entity. The company's Global Emergency Assistance service, which covers over 100 emergency risk scenarios across 233 nations, has supported societal resilience. Notably, Ping An's "Traffic Light" initiative has donated over 10,000 traffic safety resources across China, significantly decreasing accident rates. Additionally, their EagleX System generated 10.57 billion risk alerts for 130 million customers, resulting in an estimated reduction of losses by RMB 707 million due to climate risk management.

4. People-oriented: Empowering Talent

Recognizing the importance of a diverse and inclusive workplace, Ping An continues to invest significantly in its workforce. In 2025, the Group and its subsidiaries created over 30,000 new jobs, with total employee training investments amounting to RMB 885 million. Ping An's employee programs, including its Long-term Service Plan, have enabled over 109,000 employees to participate, fostering long-term accountability and incentive structures.

5. Low-carbon: Committing to Green Finance

Ping An is at the forefront of advancing green finance and facilitating a low-carbon economy. The Group reported that by the end of 2025, its green investments had skyrocketed to RMB 530.1 billion, a threefold increase from the previous year. Additionally, green loan balances climbed to RMB 266.433 billion, while green insurance income surged 30.5% to RMB 76.474 billion. The Group aims to achieve carbon neutrality in its operations by 2030, with carbon emissions decreasing by more than 16% year over year in 2025.

6. Efficiency: Leveraging Intelligent Technology

Utilizing advanced technological capabilities, Ping An has developed an integrated ecosystem bridging finance, healthcare, and senior care services. The institution has continuously enhanced its AI governance framework, with initiatives like the "Express Service" platform, which simplifies complex tasks for users and is now utilized by 251 million customers. This innovative platform supports around 90 million active users monthly, significantly improving engagement and overall customer experience.

Recognition and Future Commitments

Ping An's steadfast dedication to sustainability has earned it accolades in global markets. The company received the prestigious MSCI ESG AAA rating in 2025, ranking third globally in the Multi-line Insurance Brokerage segment and maintaining its number one position in Asia-Pacific for four consecutive years. Looking ahead, Ping An is set to continue reinforcing its SIMPLE ESG philosophy, ensuring that sustainability remains at the heart of its high-quality growth trajectory, benefiting customers, employees, shareholders, and society alike.
