The Ball Game Festa was launched in 2006 by the Japan Top League, a group of 12 organizations representing domestic pro leagues in nine #ballsports in the country. Sompo Group has been a top sponsor of this series of #community-based #sports events for the 9th consecutive year.

With our Purpose in mind, we strive to create opportunities for everyone we serve, including the next generation for whom #environmental leaders are needed.

Ahead of the upcoming league which starts in mid-September, we joined WE LEAGUE - Japan Women Empowerment Professional Football League as the new title partner in a conference celebrating the newly formed partnership in front of media, other sponsors, and esteemed guests. A highlight of the conference was a panel discussion among CHROs from three of the biggest Sompo Group companies in Japan, who all happen to be women. They shared their personal challenges, aspirations, and company goals. The session reveals that the fight for #diversity, #equity, #inclusion is not just for women but is shared also by those with disabilities, the LGBTQ community, and even the elderly. They shared how the fight is being fought not just in the field, but in big corporations and at the grassroots level. The title partnership agreement is one of the ways Sompo Group and its companies are bringing #DEI into different parts of society, and we are proud to be able to start this with WE LEAGUE. Check out the overview of the partnership, the inspiration behind the official title logo, and more on Sompo Stories. 🔗 https://lnkd.in/dtaZWYqC

Already with more than 1.4 billion people, #India faces a situation where industries have not grown sufficiently to provide adequate employment for its growing population. On the other contrary, #Japan faces a widening gap between the growing demand for and dwindling population of #caregiving personnel. To resolve these issues faced by both countries, Sompo Care and NSDC International Limited (NSDCI) have decided to collaborate to provide education programs for Indian caregiving personnel who are willing to work in Japan's caregiving sector and facilitate their acceptance in Japan. After approximately nine months in the program, the personnel will be assigned to Sompo Care's caregiving facilities in Japan as specified skilled workers. Through this initiative, we expect to see more people from India get the opportunity to receive high-quality training in caregiving. We hope to contribute to Japan's social issue of the lack of caregivers with Indian caregivers joining not only Sompo Care but also other companies in the country.

As #Japan is prone to earthquakes and typhoons, one of our most important missions is to help create disaster-resilient communities. The "Bousai JAPAN-DA Project," led by Sompo Japan's mascot JAPAN-DA, is a #disaster #prevention education program for children and their parents to learn what to do during disasters. The project was launched in 2014 and by the end of July 2024, the total number of participants had exceeded a hundred thousand! During the "Koshigaya Lake Town Bousai Fest 2024," the largest disaster prevention event in the Tokyo metropolitan area, Sompo Japan exhibited kamishibai (paper theater) and carried out workshops on making paper dishes from newspapers📰 These paper dishes were useful in the aftermath of some of Japan's worst earthquakes in the past. Participants were amazed that they could be used repeatedly by covering them with plastic bags. Learn more about the project (in Japanese) ➡🔗https://lnkd.in/gNF3yeUm

At the height of summer in Japan, many families and young people visit beaches in the Tokyo suburbs🏖   On July 20, the Sompo Earth Club, a #volunteer activity organization composed of our employees, participated in a beach cleanup at Katase Higashihama Beach co-sponsored by the Panasonic Group and Suntory Holdings Limited in cooperation with the non-profit organization Umisakura.   About 100 people worked together for an hour in the strong sunlight, collecting as much as four big bags of trash. Through this activity, not only did they leave the beach cleaner, but the participants also became aware of the social issue of #marine #pollution caused by #plasticwaste.
