Foodpanda Logistics, Chubb collab for driver-partners' upgraded insurance

To push for its delivery partners’ safety and security, Foodpanda Logistics has teamed up with global insurance provider Chubb.

Under the said collaboration, Foodpanda Logistics delivery partners will be given an upgraded comprehensive insurance coverage.

“This move aims to provide greater peace of mind and security for our Ka-pandas who tirelessly deliver food to customers every day,” Foodpanda Logistics President Lhecks De Castro said.

Per Foodpanda Logistics, the enhanced insurance program will provide delivery partners with an extended coverage period. Based on the terms, delivery partners will be protected throughout the entire duration of their work session. The said adjustment, the company noted, would offer protection from unforeseen accidents that could occur while their delivery partners are on the road.

“Previously, delivery partners were only covered while handling live orders. Now, aside from covering accidents, medical expenses, burial costs, and daily hospital income, the new insurance coverage protects them during their entire delivery session,” De Castro noted.

Aside from Chubb Foodpanda Logistics has also partnered with Philippine Health Insurance Corporation (PhilHealth) to encourage delivery partners to utilize government-mandated healthcare benefits as individual contractors.

The said support, among others, is being introduced to delivery partners around the country through the pandaPatrol: Hub on Wheels, a foodpanda-branded bus that visits different provinces and cities to engage with delivery partners.

“This partnership with Chubb is only one of our ways to show our shared commitment to the safety and well-being of delivery partners,” De Castro, noted. “With this comprehensive coverage, we aim to provide our Ka-pandas with the reassurance they deserve while they continue to deliver customer orders and support their families.”
