AXA Philippines, one of the country’s leading insurance providers, recently held its Corporate Responsibility Week (CR Week), an annual global event wherein employees from AXA entities all over the world come together to give their time and resources to help local charities and good causes.

True to its commitment of empowering people, hundreds of AXA employees, led by AXA Philippines president and CEO Rahul Hora, participated in the week-long series of events that took place across the country – from Metro Manila to Cebu and Davao.
