"Amid the challenges of 2020, we adopted new ways of working and embraced a mindset of innovation to continue serving our customers,"said RLC President and CEO Frederick Go.
"We capitalized on new opportunities for growth and accelerated our digital transformation initiatives to become more agile. As the business gradually recovers from the impact of community quarantines, we will continue to support our employees, business partners, and stakeholders," he said.
