FWD Life Insurance Plc. (“FWD Insurance”), a leading insurance company, was supporting diversity, equality, and respect for all individuals, following the principles of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI). As part of this commitment, we were honored to be one of the sponsors of the Pattaya International Pride Festival 2023 and the Miss Healthy Queen 2023 competition, organized by the Sisters Foundation, a community center for the transgender community. This collaboration involved the City of Pattaya, the Central Pattaya shopping center, the Tourism Authority of Thailand, the Pattaya Business and Tourism Association, and a network of over 100 organizations across the country. In addition to our sponsorship, we assembled a team of employees who actively participated in the Pride Parade, adding vibrant colours and celebrating diversity and pride on the beaches of Pattaya. They marched alongside celebrities, models, influential figures, and over 1,000 individuals from all walks of life, promoting acceptance of various sexual orientations, gender identities, and diverse expressions and advocating for equal rights for the LGBTQ+ community. The parade took place at the Central Marina and Central Pattaya shopping centers.
