Respecting Human Rights

In line with our corporate vision of becoming a life insurance company that cares about people first, we established our Human Rights Policy in April 2021.

The policy is applicable to all officers and employees at Meiji Yasuda. Moreover, we require our Group companies and other relevant entities to implement initiatives in line with this policy while encouraging investees and business partners to respect human rights. In these and other ways, we have clarified our stance on human rights due diligence.

Meiji Yasuda has participated in the United Nations Global Compact since April 2017. This international framework is aimed at realizing sustainable social development through the actions each participant takes as a good corporate citizen.

Promotion Structure

The Human Resource Management Reform Promotion Committee, which is chaired by the executive officer in charge of the Human Resources Department, is tasked with deliberating and coordinating general matters associated with human rights.

Initiatives to promote human rights determined by this committee are then undertaken by business units across the board. To this end, while the Human Resources Department takes the lead in these initiatives, staff charged with advocating for human rights are appointed at the headquarters and regional marketing headquarters departments as well as at other bases nationwide, including regional offices, market development departments, group insurance marketing departments and Group companies.
