Fairfirst’s recent streak of both local and global awards and recognitions is a true testament to its continuous focus on being the best rather than the biggest. 

The leading insurer recently clinched the title of ‘Best General Insurance Brand in Sri Lanka’ at the ninth edition of the Global Brand Magazine Awards 2021, where it was recognised as the only Sri Lankan insurer to win alongside other global insurance brands such as AXA, Swiss Re, LIC (Life Insurance Corporation of India) and other non-insurance brands such as Google, Alibaba, DHL, Samsung and many more. 

Another global recognition for Fairfirst and for the second time in Sri Lanka comes on the heels of three distinguished titles in 2021 for ‘Best Motor Insurance Claims Process (Click2Claim), ‘Best Cyber Insurance Company’ and ‘Best Employee Benefits Provider’ at the Global Banking & Finance Awards 2021. Fairfirst also achieved the distinction of being the only Insurer to bring home the ‘Merit Award’ at the CNCI Achiever Awards 2020 for Industrial Excellence. 

Fairfirst has always taken an empathy-based approach to developing solutions for customer needs, combined with a design-led thinking culture that reinforces a learning mindset that encourages to #GiveItATry and learn from failures.
