Top Message Tokio Marine Group’s Approach to A message from Tsuyoshi Nagano, President and CSR Group CEO. With the aim of being a Good Company trusted by all people and society, Tokio Marine Group implements its Corporate Philosophy based on the Tokio Marine Group CSR Charter. Group Core CSR Themes and Relationship between Group Materiality Initiatives and SDGs We identified materiality and are working toward value Tokio Marine Group will contribute to the United creation in each of the three core CSR themes of Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) “Providing Safety and Security,” “Protecting the Earth” based on four activity themes. and “Supporting People.” CSR Promotion Structure and Stakeholder Engagement Initiatives for Permeating CSR We introduce our structure for stakeholder within the Group engagement and include specific examples.

Tokio Marine Group believes corporate social responsibility (CSR) is synonymous with the implementation of our Corporate Philosophy and that promoting efforts to solve societal issues will lead to the Group’s sustainable growth. For these reasons, under our “To Be a Good Company 2017” mid-term business plan, which we launched in fiscal 2015, we have set “Providing Safety and Security,” “Protecting the Earth” and “Supporting People” as our core CSR themes and will promote CSR with the participation of all employees globally. As this mid-term business plan also approaches its final fiscal year, our ever more self-motivated employees will act with integrity and compassion, and as this spreads throughout organizations and the entire Group, we believe that it will create a virtuous cycle of developing innovative products and services along with contributing to local communities and society. By implementing these initiatives, we aim to become a “Good Company” that is trusted by all people and society. Providing Safety and Security The Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction 2015-2030 was adopted in 2015 at the Third United Nations World Conference on Disaster Risk Reduction with the aim of mitigating damages from natural disasters and other causes. Moreover, amid the rise of risks other than natural disasters, including geopolitical risks, it is necessary to develop appropriate risk management solutions and build safe and secure communities. To ensure it can properly support customers and society even amid these changes, Tokio Marine Group provides safety and security throughout all its business activities. This includes carrying out industry-academia collaborative research, offering products and services to prepare for a variety of risks, participating in international initiatives, continuously supporting reconstruction of disaster-stricken regions in collaboration with partners and conducting on-site Disaster Prevention Lessons for school children. Industry-Academia Collaborative Research Responding to climate change and natural disasters is a high-priority issue for Tokio Marine Group from the perspective of enterprise risk management. Accordingly, Tokio Marine Group has been promoting research on climate change and natural disaster risk through industry-academia collaborative research in cooperation with world-class research institutions that include The University of Tokyo (since 2005), Nagoya University (since 2007), Tohoku University (since 2011) and Kyoto University (since 2012). In undertaking this research, we strive to ascertain details of forecasts for damage caused by any natural disasters that could possibly occur in the future and share the outcomes of this research with society. From fiscal 2017 onward, we will continue and enhance industry-academia collaborative research and strive to utilize our research outcomes for sophisticating hazard maps in local communities and for use in evacuation plans of local governments to raise safety and security in regional communities. In March 2016, Tokio Marine & Nichido, together with Tohoku University, convened a forum in Sendai entitled Five Years after the Great East Japan Earthquake, a Disaster We Will Never Forget, where we publicly presented our achievements on industry-academia collaborative earthquake and tsunami risk assessment. At the same time, we shared the thoughts of municipalities, companies, NPOs and insurance agents toward the reconstruction of disaster-stricken areas as well as disaster prevention. 5 Creating Value through Products and Services Tokio Marine Group strives to quickly provide security to customers and communities through insurance and various services when disasters or accidents occur. Tokio Marine Group has begun distributing to customers personalized videos with customized information on necessary insurance in preparation for disasters. Tokio Marine Group provides its corporate customers with expert advice to expedite business resumption and assist corporate customers in designing optimal business continuity plans (BCP). Tokio Marine Group also offers the products that provide safety and security to people who had not necessarily been insured. These products include One Day Auto Insurance, which is aimed at reducing auto accidents involving uninsured drivers by encouraging young drivers who do not own vehicles to sign up for insurance, as well as weather insurance and micro-insurance targeting farmers and low-income earners in India who suffer from poverty. We are also moving ahead in offering products and services that anticipate changes in customer needs and society. These include Drive Agent Personal, “Cyber Risk Insurance,” “participation in demonstration tests on public roads for autonomous vehicles” and “a new type of overseas travel insurance for foreign tourists visiting Japan.” Participation in International Initiatives To raise the resilience of society as a whole to natural disasters and contribute to resolving disaster issues and mitigating damages, Tokio Marine Group participates in the United Nations Office for Disaster Risk Reduction (UNISDR) Private Sector Alliance for Disaster Resilient Societies (ARISE) as well as in ClimateWise and The Geneva Association Extreme Events and Climate Risk (EE+CR) working group, as we make efforts to promote global disaster prevention. Earthquake Reconstruction Support and Disaster Prevention Awareness and Education Tokio Marine Group is continuing to provide support to the Tohoku Region affected by the Great East Japan Earthquake through a variety of activities that include support of the Ten-Year Restoration Project of the Coastal Forests of Tohoku Region, volunteer reconstruction support activities by employees and agents in affected areas and offering lunch menus from disaster-stricken regions at employee cafeterias with charitable donations. These support efforts are driven by our determination to “never forget the event at any cost and continue

  • The Role and Management of Public Service Broadcasting As Part of the Regional/Local Media Landscape – Comparative Analyses Between Japan’S NHK and the UK’S BBC
    Keio Communication Review No. 35, 2013 The Role and Management of Public Service Broadcasting as part of the Regional/Local Media Landscape – Comparative Analyses between Japan’s NHK and the UK’s BBC By Yoshiko NAKAMURA* Introduction The last ten years have seen a sea change in the world of broadcasting, ranging from the digitalization of terrestrial television broadcasting, the spread of the Internet to the use of digital devices ever more diverse and sophisticated. Much has been debated and reexamined concerning a changing role expected of public service broadcasting, how it should adapt to digital-age challenges and what fresh services it could offer. In Europe, the history of development of broadcasting services was primarily guided by public service broadcasters, while, in Japan, the NHK, Japan’s public service broadcasting, has led the way by breaking new ground with Hi-Vision and data broadcasting services, both of which were built on the basis of expertise refined over many years. In both Europe and Japan, the legal framework, ‘convergence law’, was put in place in order to accommodate emerging telecommunications technologies, network architecture and a flexible migration of content across multiple platforms. At the same time, the unchanging philosophy of universality has continued to be upheld and reaffirmed; ‘Information, education and entertainment for all.’ Hence various new services, offered in accordance with the spirit of duty as a public service broadcaster. TV programmes are now offered via telecommunications networks, enabled by advances in digital technology. TV contents are made accessible on a video-on-demand basis. All these services were developed in order to better serve viewers with new media access, increasingly diversified and individualised, and were aimed to ensure universality, albeit a different type, of the new age 1.
