We believe it is important to understand what our stakeholders expect and want from our Group and to utilize this understanding to improve the quality of products and services in order to consistently be valued as a corporate group that makes progress based on communication with our customers. Our Group has various systems in place to facilitate communication with our stakeholders and offers quality which meets their expectations through feedback-based business improvement and highly transparent and effective corporate governance practices.
It is our role to provide the best solutions to the uncertainties and risks in society based on public expectations for the insurance and financial services. In order to provide safety and security to people and support dynamic business activities and a healthy and productive life, we listen and react to a wide variety of feedback from stakeholders, including customers, through such channels as consultations, requests, complaints, and opinions received, and utilize it for quality improvement. In addition, we publicly disclose our processes for understanding the feedback received, as well as the results and progress of counter measures.

 

Customers

Based on the MS&AD Insurance Group Basic Policy for Responding to Customer Communications, we listen sincerely to feedback from our customers obtained through customer questionnaires, the official website, and communication with agents/employees, and utilize it to improve business operations for quality enhancement. In addition, we have established the Customer-first policy in the business operations to ensure that we carry out business operations placing high value on the customer-first principle. We have developed various schemes that help to understand our stakeholders’ needs and expectations and, to that end, to improve the quality of the products and services we offer together with management level discussions.

 

Quality that Earns the Trust of Society

Shareholders

We have been developing a range of IR activities such as IR meetings, briefings for investors, individual meetings, and shareholders’ meeting questionnaires, in accordance with the Basic Policy to win the trust of shareholders and investors, and to enable our our Group’s corporate value to be fairly evaluated. Our Group proactively engages in highly transparent information disclosure and constructive dialogue with shareholders and investors in an initiative to achieve sustainable growth and increase corporate value.
Specifically, through highly transparent information disclosure, our Group seeks to reduce information asymmetry with shareholders and investors. The feedback gained from the constructive dialogue with shareholders and investors is shared with management and the relevant departments to be utilized in the formulation of management strategies.

 

IR Events

Agents

We seek to contribute to resolution of social issues and grow together with society by maintaining continuous communication with agents, who are our business partners, to provide “Products/services covering before/after compensation/guarantees, in addition to "financial loss” and “Best solutions utilizing digital technologies” in an integrated manner by the Group and agents. We intend to further strengthen communication with agents through measures such as holding study sessions aimed at bolstering their growth, supporting their activities to contribute to their local and regional societies, and providing an information-sharing system. Furthermore, due to the growth of full-time insurance agents’ businesses, dedicated full-time staff members with expertise provide overall management support to agents, including in growth strategies, maintenance of systems, and staff education through training and one-to-one meetings, thereby improving the agents’ management base and the quality of their products and services.
