With operations in over 120 countries around the globe, Aon is a leading provider of risk management, insurance and reinsurance brokerage, and human capital solutions, providing clients with the clarity and confidence to make better risk and people decisions that protect and grow their business.
“At the core of Aon’s mission is a commitment to personal and professional integrity,” said Ernest Leung, Chief Executive Officer of Aon Hong Kong Ltd, established in 1971. “Our senior management and board of directors emphasize ethical practices and transparency, fostering trust with clients and stakeholders.”
Aon launched a “3 x 3 Plan” last year outlining three commitments to help the firm accelerate its Aon United strategy and better meet client needs over three years. The blueprint focuses on three key areas: leveraging risk and human capital to create new integrated solutions, implementing the Aon client leadership model to enhance relationships, and speeding up business services to improve service delivery and develop next-generation analytical tools.
Aon’s commitment to supplier diversity is crucial to its environmental, social and governance (ESG) strategy. The firm collaborates with small and diverse businesses that offer innovative and competitive products and services. This initiative is backed by leadership, with CEO Greg Case signing a “Commitment Statement for Supplier Diversity” that guides efforts to establish annual diversity spending goals.
Aligning with a broader sustainability and corporate responsibility vision, the company aims for net-zero carbon emissions by 2030. It measures its ecological impact across key drivers such as travel, real estate, and the supply chain, and it is supported by Aon Business Services and a flexible “smart working” strategy.
As businesses adapt to today’s complexities, Leung said the company is embracing digital transformation by enhancing its analytics capabilities in both risk and human capital. On the human capital front, comprehensive analytics enable Aon to identify talent gaps, optimize employee benefits and improve workforce engagement, he revealed.
Geographical expansion is also a strategic priority for Aon, particularly in the Asia-Pacific region, where significant growth potential exists. Furthermore, the Belt and Road Initiative showcases China’s economic strength in the new era of globalization, creating numerous growth opportunities. However, he pointed out that these opportunities come with risks, such as regulatory challenges, political instability and inadequate corporate governance.
“We leverage our deep understanding of overseas investments to provide exceptional support for businesses in the Greater China region seeking to expand globally, with Hong Kong as a key connector to professional services that meet international standards,” Leung said. “Aon China Global Solutions is a crucial link to our global network.”
As a long-time member, the company has found HKGCC to be a great source of support for business development.
“We are in the business of ‘better decisions,’ and staying ahead with the latest business topics is essential to us,” he stated, adding that the Chamber’s diverse events offer timely content and opportunities for in-person interaction and reach to different businesses in Hong Kong.
