Promotion Structure (governance)

To strengthen initiatives that contribute to the creation of a sustainable society, we appointed an operating officer in charge of sustainability management & development. We simultaneously established the Corporate Planning & Management Department as a dedicated organization to support sustainability management & development. In April 2026, the Chief Sustainability Officer (CSuO) position was also established, with the President and Representative Executive Officer currently occupying this post. This move aims to ensure that our business strategies align with our medium- to long-term initiatives to create both social and economic value.

In addition, the Sustainability Deliberation Committee was established as an advisory body to the Management Council.

This Committee is tasked with formulating overall strategies regarding Meiji Yasuda’s sustainability management, deliberating on policies for initiatives to address priority issues and monitoring the status of their progress. Under the Sustainability Deliberation Committee, various other bodies meet to formulate and consolidate specific measures to address such priority issues as how we help “Prolong healthy life expectancy” and “Vitalize regional communities” even as we “Promote human resource-centered business management.” The various bodies also verify the progress of these measures and deliver reports to the Management Council and the Board of Directors on a periodic and as-necessary basis.

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.

With the Chief Risk Officer (CRO) serving as the convenor, the Risk Management Domain Committee is also in place 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 identified “the growing public call for sustainability management,” which includes the pressing need to robustly counter climate change, as a key risk and we have enhanced our structure for monitoring this risk.
