AXA Introduces Heatwave Insurance
AXA Hong Kong and Macau has launched a groundbreaking Heatwave Parametric Insurance aimed at shielding outdoor workers from the rising risks posed by extreme heat during the summer months.

The innovative coverage offers automatic payouts or anti-heatwave kits when temperatures exceed 36°C for three consecutive days. The process requires no damage proof or claims submission, ensuring swift and straightforward relief for affected workers.

As Hong Kong’s temperatures rise annually, AXA’s new parametric insurance offers businesses a proactive solution to safeguard employees, reinforcing the company’s dedication to sustainability and employee well-being.
