New Initiatives for Carbon Neutrality by 2050

Tokio Marine Holdings, Inc. (President and CEO: Satoru Komiya, hereinafter referred to as "TMHD") announces its new initiatives for achieving carbon neutrality for its business activities by 2050 by reducing CO2 emission toward 2030 and by increasing the share of renewable sources in its power consumption.

1. Background

We have grown steadily by working to resolve various social issues while remaining focused on our purpose which is "protect our customers and society in their time of need", which has remained unchanged since our foundation. As the challenges that our society faces become more varied and complex, it is increasingly necessary for every company to consider just how much they can be part of the solution to these challenges and how much value they can deliver to society. We, therefore, have taken our initiatives for enhancing sustainable society as our mid- to long-term growth driver and, at the same time, as one of our key strategies for our mid-term business plan released on 28th of May.

As a part of our initiatives on enhancing sustainable society, we newly appointed Group Chief Sustainability Officer, CSUO, and established Group Sustainability Committee in April 2021. In addition, we have included "future generation" as one of our key stakeholders and have prioritized our initiatives driven by our purpose.

Based on the above, we have set our new target to further contribute to the solution to "climate change", one of the most important social problems.
