Contributions to Initiatives in FY2022

Dai-ichi Life Holdings and Dai-ichi Life (The employees of these two companies comprise the majority of our group's workforce and cover most of our jurisdictions) are committed to promoting efforts to realize a sustainable society through participation in domestic and international initiatives. To achieve this, we have established a management system for membership in industry associations and other organizations. Since the annual budget, including membership fees to be paid to initiatives, is approved by the Management Committee, management supervises whether or not to join initiatives. Providing opinions on policies and measures developed by the supervisory authorities or the decision to join an industry association is made after taking into consideration international requirements, such as the Paris Agreement. In determining whether to continue membership in trade associations each year, we also consider whether the original intent of membership, including the realization of a sustainable society, has been achieved, and whether the association's policies are consistent with international requirements, including the Paris Agreement on climate change, and we may not continue membership if the association's policies are contrary to these requirements.
