Compliance

The Tokio Marine Group, which places customer trust as the foundation of all its activities, is implementing various compliance-related initiatives based on its belief that it is important to thoroughly implement compliance through its day-to-day business, with employees and agents maintaining high ethical standards.

The Tokio Marine Group Compliance System

The Tokio Marine Group defines compliance as "observing applicable laws, rules and regulations and internal regulations, and conducting fair and equitable business activities within social norms," and thoroughly implements compliance in this manner. Additionally, the Company has formulated the Tokio Marine Group Code of Conduct that incorporates matters that directors, executive officers and employees should comply with from the perspective of compliance.

To thoroughly implement compliance as a Group, Tokio Marine Holdings has formulated the Tokio Marine Group Basic Policies for Compliance, which prescribes the role of the Company, its Subsidiaries and Others and the basic rationale regarding the implementation of compliance, and also prepares measures and policies for the entire Group. Subsidiaries and Others shall build compliance systems in a form suited to the content and scale of their respective businesses in accordance with the Tokio Marine Group Basic Policies for Compliance and shall report on important matters to Tokio Marine Holdings. Tokio Marine Holdings also deliberates and makes decisions on important compliance-related matters via the Board of Directors, Management Meeting and the Internal Control Committee, and when necessary, provides guidance and advice about such matters to its Subsidiaries and Others.

Tokio Marine & Nichido has also established a Quality Improvement/Compliance Committee, which has a majority of members from outside the company, that evaluates the establishment of compliance systems from an external perspective and checks, monitors and provides suggestions on the appropriateness of overall business operations. Tokio Marine & Nichido has appointed a Compliance Leader (CPL) in each production department who provides guidance on initiatives for compliance and fulfills a check-and-balance function, among other responsibilities. It also has appointed a Compliance Officer (CPO) in each region's business support department who fulfills a check-and-balance function with regard to production departments and supports the CPL. In this way, Tokio Marine & Nichido has built up a system for thorough compliance throughout a wide range of operations it conducts.

In the overseas Group companies, compliance is promoted primarily under the lead of the CPOs in the respective companies on the basis of undertaking proper business in accordance with the above policies and with respect for local laws and regulations.

Declaration of Commitment to Compliance

The Tokio Marine Group is committed to the continuous enhancement of its corporate value, with customer trust at the base of all its activities. Strict compliance is at the heart of our corporate philosophy. The Tokio Marine Group Code of Conduct is a compilation of important matters that must be strictly observed. We, the directors, officers and employees of the Tokio Marine Group companies, promise to prioritize compliance in the conduct of business activities in accordance with the Code of Conduct.

Since each member company of the Tokio Marine Group handles a range of products including life insurance and investment trust in addition to non-life insurance, it has been making efforts, in the same way with its employees, to have thorough compliance implemented by agents and sales personnel also who handle the same types of products.

Tokio Marine & Nichido provides its agents and sales personnel with group training and compliance courses on the Internet, as well as support for the construction of their compliance systems. Tokio Marine & Nichido Life implements training for agents using training materials that provide an easy-to-understand explanation of sales rules.

Hotline System (Internal Whistle-Blower System)

The Tokio Marine Group has installed hotlines as a system for handling reports and consultation from employees and the management of Group member companies in the event a compliance-related issue has arisen or there is a likelihood of such an issue occurring. An external hotline is also established at an external law office so that the persons making such reports are able to select the hotline most convenient for them.

The Group keeps personal information on individuals making such reports strictly confidential and ensures that such individuals are not put in a disadvantageous position.
