Our Group has been working on realization of a resilient and sustainable society with “Symbiosis with the global environment (Planetary Health),” “Safe and Secure Society (Resilience)” and “Happiness of diverse people (Well-being)” as three priority issues in our Medium-term Management Plan (FY2022-2025). MS&AD Green Earth Project is a project through which our Group has been addressing conservation/restoration of natural environments, environmental burden reduction, disaster prevention and mitigation, and regional revitalization in a unified manner. This initiative is being pursued by our entire Group to help solve social issues.
In order for our society to be sustainable, it is essential to maintain environments with high resistance against contingencies such as disasters and high resilience.
We recognize that it is absolutely critical to accelerate response to climate change, with protecting and utilizing the inherent power of nature. The initiatives include prevention/mitigation of flood damage through creation of retarding basins in areas subject to frequent flooding, storage and permeation, etc. of rainwater, and decarbonization by implementing measures to reduce resources utilization, such as resource circulation through recycling and paperless business processes. As an insurance company committed to providing safety and peace of mind, we will promote this initiative as a project which supports realization of a sound global environment and contributes to development of a vibrant society.

Disaster prevention and mitigation and regional revitalization through conservation/restoration of natural environments |
We have been carrying out activities which help to address social issues such as recovery of disaster prevention/mitigation functions inherent to the natural environment, decarbonization thereby also increasing job opportunities, etc., through the conservation and restoration of the natural environment, including tree planting.
In collaboration with community action groups, we work to address regional social issues through activities for environmental conservation/restoration carried out by volunteers such as employees and members of their families in local areas, and through online lectures/workshops.
