Thursday, December 18, 2025


2025 proved to be a milestone year for AXA Philippines. As the year wrapped up, the insurer emerged as one of the most awarded companies in the local insurance and financial services space, earning recognition from seven respected global and Philippine award-giving bodies. From digital innovation and customer experience to corporate governance, employee well-being, and social impact, AXA’s wins reflect a company that is growing with purpose and consistency.

These achievements are not just trophies on a shelf. They signal how AXA Philippines continues to evolve alongside the needs of Filipinos, especially as insurance becomes more digital, more personal, and more relevant to everyday life.

A Year of Recognition Across Global and Local Stages

AXA Philippines received accolades from a diverse mix of institutions in 2025. These included the Global Insurance Innovation Awards, Golden Arrow Awards, Asia CEO Awards, Tripzilla Excellence Awards, Marketech APAC NEXT Awards, Great Place to Work® Certification, and the Philippine Daily Inquirer and Statista’s Best Employers in the Philippines.

Taken together, these honors highlight AXA’s strong performance across key areas such as technology, governance, marketing, workplace culture, and corporate social responsibility. For Filipino customers and employees alike, this signals a brand that is investing in long-term trust and value.

Leading the Way in Digital Insurance Innovation

At the Global Insurance Innovation Awards 2025, AXA Philippines stood out for its technology-driven platforms. The company received awards for Excellence in Digital Innovation and Best Mobile Insurance App, thanks to SWITCH and EMMA by AXA PH.

SWITCH is designed to simplify the distributor experience by offering real-time updates and automated workflows. This makes the sales and service process more efficient, allowing distributors to focus on customer needs rather than manual tasks.

On the customer side, EMMA by AXA PH gives policyholders easier access to their insurance information. Through the app, users can manage policies, make secure payments, and receive digital support. These tools reflect how AXA is responding to Filipinos’ growing preference for mobile-first and convenient financial services.

Setting the Standard in Corporate Governance

AXA Philippines was also recognized at the 2025 Golden Arrow Awards by the Institute of Corporate Directors. The company earned a One Golden Arrow distinction for meeting high standards of corporate governance based on the Annual Corporate Governance Scorecard.

This recognition reflects strong oversight, ethical leadership, and effective risk management. According to AXA Philippines CEO Ayman Kandil, the award underscores the company’s shared vision as One AXA and its long-standing commitment to protecting what matters through responsible leadership and stakeholder value creation.

For customers, strong governance translates to stability and reliability. For investors and partners, it reinforces confidence in how the company is managed.

Wellness and CSR Programs That Go Beyond the Workplace

AXA Philippines also made waves at the 16th Asia CEO Awards 2025, where it was named a Circle of Excellence finalist in two major categories.

The Awesome AXA program was recognized under Wellness Company of the Year. Launched in 2024, this initiative focuses on holistic employee well-being, covering physical, mental, and emotional health. It reflects AXA’s belief that employees perform best when they feel supported not just at work, but in life.

The company was also cited for CSR Company of the Year through AXA Hearts in Action. This global volunteering initiative includes impactful programs such as the AXA Forest in Laguna, the AXA Clean Water Project, AXA Week for Good, and financial literacy workshops. These efforts show how AXA integrates social responsibility into its business, addressing real community needs across the country.

Empowering Filipino Travelers with Award-Winning Protection

Travel insurance is another area where AXA Philippines stood out in 2025. The #GoBigWithAXASmartTraveller campaign won a Silver Award for Most Innovative Public Relations Campaign at Marketech APAC’s NEXT Awards.

The campaign encouraged Filipinos to pursue travel plans with confidence, backed by reliable insurance protection. At a time when more Filipinos are traveling again, this message resonated strongly.

Adding to this momentum, AXA Smart Traveller was named Best Travel Insurance for Single Trip at the Tripzilla Excellence Awards 2025. This marked the second consecutive year the product received the distinction, reinforcing AXA’s position as a trusted travel insurance provider in the region.

A Workplace Where People Thrive

Beyond customer-facing achievements, AXA Philippines also earned recognition for how it treats its people. In 2025, the company was certified as a Great Place to Work® for the fifth year in a row.

Even more notable was its leap in the Philippine Daily Inquirer and Statista’s Best Employers in the Philippines ranking. AXA Philippines jumped from rank 203 to rank 26 among 300 companies, a significant improvement that reflects strong employee engagement and satisfaction.

For AXA, this progress supports a simple belief. When employees are cared for and empowered, they are better equipped to care for customers.

Insurance is built on trust. For many Filipinos, choosing an insurance provider means choosing a long-term partner for protection, travel, health, and financial security. AXA Philippines’ strong showing in 2025 sends a clear message that the company is investing in innovation, integrity, and people.

As AXA closes the year, its leadership remains focused on enabling customers to feel protected, supported, and confident. These awards serve as markers of progress, but more importantly, they reflect how AXA continues to act for human progress by protecting what truly matters.
