Revision of "Tokio Marine: Our Climate Strategy"

Tokio Marine Holdings, Inc. (President and Group CEO: Satoru Komiya, hereinafter "TMHD") announces that it has revised its insurance underwriting, investment, and financing policies in the "Tokio Marine: Our Climate Strategy" to contribute to resolving social issues such as tackling climate change, preserving biodiversity, and protecting the rights of indigenous peoples.

1. Background

Since we released "Tokio Marine: Our Climate Strategy" in September 2020, we have been working towards promoting renewable energy through the provision of insurance products and services, implementing our insurance underwriting, investment, and financing policies, engaging in constructive dialogue with business partners aimed at decarbonization, and participating in global initiatives to contribute to international policymaking. Going forward, we will continue to help facilitate the transition to a decarbonized society by reducing greenhouse gas emissions, aiming to achieve the goals of the Paris Agreement.

In addition, as social issues become more prevalent and severe, expectations for corporate contributions towards the realization of a sustainable society are rapidly increasing and we need to accelerate our initiatives to solve social issues through our business.

In light of the above environment, we have recently revised "Tokio Marine: Our Climate Strategy" and strengthened our insurance underwriting, investment, and financing policies in order to contribute to resolving environmental and social issues such as tackling climate change, preserving biodiversity, and protecting the rights of indigenous peoples.
