VISION AND VALUES

The HLA Story

2 0 2 5

Just over a year ago, the senior management of Hong Leong Asia (HLA) unveiled their 2025 VISION AND CORE VALUES to its employees and key business leaders and exchanged stories on how the group has and would continue to make a difference.

We looked at the past to get clear on the values, behaviours, attitudes and core competencies that have served us well till today. We questioned ourselves on the gaps we needed to fill to seize new opportunities and move ahead in an increasingly disruptive world.

Who Are We, What Do We Offer and How Will We Grow?

How Do We Stay Grounded and Strive To Do Better?

" We are encouraging our employees to live and breathe the five corporate values - in keeping the customer first, doing the right things, thinking fast and working faster, minding the details that matter and creating an impact beyond our business."
