innovations to predict and prevent illnesses and provide
the most advanced care despite a national shortfall in
healthcare staff. The company also invests in and supports
research into health and disease prevention, particularly
dementia prevention.
As an insurer, SOMPO knows that our roads pose many
risks. To safeguard and protect travelers, the company is
also investing in artifi cial intelligence and other cutting-
edge digital technologies to accelerate the development
and adoption of driverless transport. Digital driving can
prevent accidents and provide mobility and freedom for
elderly drivers and others with physical challenges. That
improves quality of life and wellbeing, not just for those
behind the wheel but for all of society.
SOMPO makes the good of society a top priority. But to
provide health, security and well-being, a society must be
at peace. To promote peace, SOMPO has pledged up to
$780,000 in humanitarian aid to Ukraine and refugees in
neighboring countries through the United Nations, Save the
Children, the Japanese Red Cross Society and the Japan
Platform. The donations will come from SOMPO and its
employees, and from visitors to the SOMPO Museum of Art,
where Vincent van Gogh’s “Sunfl owers” is on permanent
display. The sunfl ower is the national fl ower of Ukraine.
Today, it is a symbol of peace. SOMPO hopes van Gogh’s
masterpiece will lead people to think more deeply about
peace – especially global leaders.
Ethics and responsibility are the bedrockof leadership. The
2,000-plus business and political powerbrokersmeeting in
Davos will be debating ways to make the World Economic
Forum’s theme of “Shaping an Equitable, Inclusive and
Sustainable Recovery” a reality. If we are honest, it hasn’t
been working out that way so far. Therich have gotten richer
while the poor have suffered disp oportionately during the
COVID-19 crisis. And it’s not the onlycrisis we are facing.
SOMPO believes that we can enhance positive trends
and reverse negative ones despite these diffi cult times.
In Japan, our core businesses are acting on our belief
by working to solve social issues, such as caring for and
thriving with an aging population, among others. We hope
our example will inspire others in societies facing similar
challenges. Innovations and breakthroughs in technologies
can make life better for everyone if matched by a vision and
commitment to sustainability and the common good.Everyone wants security, health and wellbeing. SOMPO has
been delivering those for its clients and Japanese society.
But more needs to be done. For SOMPO, that means
moving beyond our original business of insurance. We are
becoming more agile, innovative and diverse in the services
we provide and the types of businesses we engage in, all to
meet the changing needs of those we serve. SOMPO will
always be committed to its customers in Japan. But in these
changing times, we will also continue to expand to new and
growing markets to deliver security, health and well-being
to more people around the world.CONTENT FROM SOMPO HOLDINGS
