Social mission of fire insurance and Current Progress of initiatives for profit improvement

Social mission of fire insurance

  • As a safety function indispensable to society, it will provide security and safety in a permanent manner.
  • Protect all people in the mother market from intensifying and frequent natural disasters.

Results of initiatives for profit improvement in fire insurance

  • Efforts to improve profitability, including insurance premium rate revisions, have made steady progress toward eliminating the deficit in underwriting profits.We expect to gain the profit in the mid-term management plan period.
  • The profit improvement initiatives such as reduction of the maximum insurance period (maximum 5 years) in October 2022 accelerated the effectiveness of the initiatives.The risk portfolio has improved significantly.

Ongoing issues

  • Following the return of insurance underwriting profits, we will continue initiatives toward VA positive.

Strengthen the support for loss prevention and mitigation measures through the use of digital technology (RisTech, cmap, etc.).
