Message from the Group CEO
Tokio Marine Group was founded in 1879 as Japan's first insurance company, providing marine insurance to support Japan's burgeoning international trade and industrial development. Through numerous challenges and dramatic social changes, such as the Great Kanto Earthquake (1923) and the rise of motorization, we have been committed to solving emerging social issues throughout each era by providing insurance, always driven by our purpose of protecting our customers and society in times of need. Since the 2000s, we have acted on our global aspirations and successfully expanded and grown our business. Today, over 50,000 employees in more than 40 countries work together toward the realization of our purpose.
Since our founding, we have always put our customers at the center of our activities by solving social issues through insurance and inspiring in them the confidence to take on new challenges and accelerating progress toward a brighter tomorrow. Doing so, in turn, has allowed our group to grow. We have endeavored to enhance the sustainability of our customers and society through insurance while simultaneously enhancing the sustainability of our group’s business model. This is at the heart and core of who we are, which is tightly aligned with our purpose and the very reason we exist.
Recently, we have seen increased volatility and unpredictability across a variety of social issues, such as climate change and the acceleration of technological progress. To continue fulfilling our purpose, we are in the process of transforming our business model into a solutions provider, continuously developing a holistic range of innovative solutions that enhance and complement the value of our core insurance business. We have recently made a huge step in welcoming ID&E Group into our family, allowing us to expand the scope of our contribution to the sustainability of our customers and society.
We are committed to continuing our journey of evolution as a global company originating in Japan. Our purpose, which originated and developed in Japan, embeds the philosophy of respecting and providing value to all stakeholders over the long term. Contributions from our colleagues around the world have enhanced this philosophy and enabled our Integrated Group Management, which is our core strength. We will further build on our uniqueness, be with our customers and society in their times of need, and continue to inspire confidence and accelerate progress toward a better tomorrow.
We are Tokio Marine.
