The "Green Lessons" held at
Shimizu Elementary School

The Tokio Marine Group has prepared an environmental education program based on the theme of preventing global warming and ecological preservation, which entails visiting schools where classes are conducted by employees, agents and other individuals.
The Group commenced this program in FY2005. Through March 2009, approximately 15,000 children had taken part in the course, which was held across Japan at approximately 210 elementary schools and schools for students with special needs.
The course deals with various effects of mangrove trees and the Company's activities involving the recycling of uniforms, creating opportunities for children to think about the importance of environmental protection and to take action to protect the environment. This was achieved by showing videos of the beautiful mangrove forests and sharing the experiences of the employees and agents who volunteer in the mangrove afforestation project.

Program

Tokio Marine & Nichido Life supports the Pink-Ribbon Movement, a campaign that communicates the importance of the early detection of breast cancer by the nonprofit organization J.POSH (Japan Breast Cancer Pink-Ribbon Movement).

Holding this program in eight locations across Japan in FY2008, the Company lent its cooperation and support through actions that included providing venues and encouraging employees to participate as volunteer staff.

Community Safety Map Courses

In December 2008, the Okayama Branch of Tokio Marine & Nichido held the “Daijobu Campaign” jointly with the Mainichi Shimbun newspaper and other cosponsors. This event was intended to protect children and local communities from danger through the local government, businesses, and residents checking on each other to make sure that everything is all right (“daijobu”), to contribute to the development of safe and comfortable communities.
This event included activities such as “Community Safety Map Courses” intended to teach children how to identify danger themselves by finding potentially dangerous areas in their communities and mapping them, an activity in which numerous employees and agents took part, and “IT Security Courses” teaching about the actual state of potential dangers in a networked society. One participating employee commented, “I feel this event contributed to revitalizing and developing the community, by helping prevent damage from crime and misconduct and fostering the ability to think, among other achievements.”
