Provide Opportunities for Future Generations

One of our major, timeless responsibilities is supporting the growth of children who will lead the future. As various societal challenges become increasingly complex and diverse, our responsibility for future generations is likewise increasing. In addition to our basic task of conveying to children knowledge of societal challenges, including those related to the environment and disasters, Tokio Marine Group hosts experience-based programs for them to consider solutions to these societal challenges and provides employment support and financial education to children with limited access to education.

In Japan, Tokio Marine & Nichido provides lessons for elementary school children, namely Green Lessons, to raise their awareness of protecting the global environment, and Disaster Prevention Lessons to teach them how to protect themselves in a disaster. The total attendance of Green Lessons is 60,000 since its launch in 2005, while a total of 95,000 children have attended Disaster Prevention Lessons since its launch in 2012.

Overseas, we have also been providing lessons at schools. In Vietnam, for example, we added the prevention of water accidents, a societal challenge in the country, to the curriculum of our Disaster Prevention Lessons. In Indonesia, which is prone to earthquakes, our lessons teach children what to do in an earthquake. We will continue to strive for better disaster resilience and greater awareness of environmental protection through the education of children who are leaders of the future.
