The reason for existence of SOMPO Group is to continuously deliver services that are beneficial to “security, health & wellbeing” of customers through diverse businesses, protect people against risks, and contribute to creating a healthy and affluent society.
For this, we value connections with the customers and society, accurately grasp stakeholders’ needs based on the trust earned, and continue to live up to expectations.
Our world is changing dramatically every day due to population decline in Japan, record-high number of natural disasters, rising geopolitical risks, and advances in technologies, including AI. Also, the needs of stakeholders, including customers, continue to change all the time.
For the Group to adapt to these changes and continue delivering services that are beneficial to “security, health & welling” of customers, there is no other way but to change ourselves. Diversity, equity, and inclusion are essential since employees with diverse experience and values need to sense the changing needs and create new value.
My role as the Group CEO is to lead and direct the course of SOMPO Group’s transformation, which I believe would also lead to realizing my purpose which is to “pass on to the next generation a society that provides security, health & wellbeing”.
I will work to transform the Group without hesitation by adapting to changing customer needs and business environment so that the Group can grow sustainably, contribute to creating a healthy and affluent society, and pass on to the next generation a society that provides security, health & wellbeing. I am fully committed to do whatever it takes.
I would appreciate the continued support of all stakeholders.
