Case Studies

Mangrove Afforestation: Contributions to Nature Positive

The Tokio Marine Group began mangrove planting as its 120th anniversary commemorative project in 1999. Since 2009, the Group has expanded this initiative through the “Green Gift” project as an environmentally conscious insurance product that connects customers’ desire for environmental protection with actual conservation activities. Tokio Marine has conducted planting in 12,970 hectares across nine countries in the Asia-Pacific region (as of the end of March 2025, equating to a distance along the Shinkansen line from Tokio Station to Kumamoto Station with a width of 100 meters).

We conduct third-party evaluations in line with internationally recognized methodologies such as the Millennium Ecosystem Assessment and the Economics of Ecosystems and Biodiversity (TEEB), yielding an estimation that the economic value of ecosystem services generated through mangrove afforestation from April 1999 to March 2023 has cumulatively reached 202.3 billion yen.
