Social Trends Surrounding Sustainability

Today, sustainability initiatives are being promoted around the world.
Common international goals such as the SDGs, which aim to realize a sustainable and better society, and the Paris Agreement, a goal to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, have been set. In addition, various sustainability-related initiatives and international frameworks are being developed to ensure that all countries are working in tandem to achieve these goals.

SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT GOALS

Japan Post Insurance supports the SDGs

Our Approach (for sustainable value creation)

Our predecessor, Postal Life Insurance Business, was launched with the social mission of “protecting the means of fundamental livelihood of the public through simple procedures.” We have been privatized, but our mission to support people’s lives through insurance has not changed.
And now, under our management philosophy “Be a trustful partner for people, always being close at hand and endeavoring to protect their well-being,” we are advancing the promotion of sustainability based on the concept of helping to resolve social issues and working to achieve SDGs by fulfilling our social mission (purpose) and meeting social needs in an age of the 100-year life.
