Corporate Social Responsibility

Proudly giving back to our community and society

Since 2009, Al Hilal Life has committed to the communities of the Middle East by offering opportunities to hire and develop local talent.

As a life insurance company, with aims to deliver exceptional capability to protect the wealth and security of our customers and to develop Middle Eastern economies; our corporate social responsibility mirrors this aim.

Al Hilal Life and its employees believe that an integral part of being a successful regional company is being socially responsible and involved in the global community.

To support these beliefs we have demonstrated our commitment by extending support to the environment as well as extending support to less fortunate and disadvantaged individuals.
