Promotion Structure (governance)

With the aim of strengthening initiatives to contribute to the creation of a sustainable society, we appointed an executive officer in charge of sustainability management & development. At the same time, a general manager position was created and charged with sustainability management & development.

Also, the Sustainability Management & Development Committee was formulated as an advisory body to the Management Council. This committee is tasked with formulating overall strategies regarding Meiji Yasuda’s sustainability management, deliberating its policies for initiatives to address priority issues (materiality) and monitoring the status of their progress. Under this committee, Special Project Teams (PTs) are in place to address specific themes deemed to bear particular importance in terms of how we help “Prolong healthy life expectancy” and “Vitalize regional communities.” These PTs thus deliberate and consolidate measures to address these issues and deliver periodic reporting on their conclusions to the Management Council and the Board of Directors, respectively.

Risk Management

The department in charge of overall risk management (Risk Management Control Department) develops and promotes the overall risk management system, integrating our risk management structure. It monitors and supervises the overall status of risk management while also providing expert advice to departments in charge of category-specific risk control and departments in charge of risk management, both of which are established to handle category-specific risk. Moreover, the Risk Management Verification Committee is in place to serve as an advisory body to the Management Council in order to ensure that risk monitoring is regularly implemented, thereby securing the appropriate control of all manner of risks.

In addition, as part of the enterprise risk management framework, we have identified “climate change risks” and “the growing public call for sustainability management” as key risks and enhanced our structure for monitoring these risks.
