Initiatives For Stakeholders

Initiatives for Clients

Toa Re holds various reinsurance seminars and workshops in Japan and overseas to improve communication and share knowledge with our clients.

1.STEP

Every year, Toa Re holds STEP, a seminar for junior staff working in direct non-life insurance companies in Japan (generally, with less than one year of experience). (The seminar was held online in fiscal 2022 due to the impact of COVID-19) As the STEP curriculum incorporates straightforward explanations of fundamental principles of reinsurance and practices, it is appreciated by participating companies as valuable training of practical benefit in business.

2.STEP LIFE

Every year, Toa Re holds STEP LIFE, a training program on medical underwriting, for underwriters of domestic companies who have 1 to 2 years experience of underwriting of new policy. In fiscal 2022, we opted to hold the event through online streaming in September, and we saw a total of 171 people from 42 companies take part, including those who viewed the archived stream on a different day.

We consider it important to share our knowledge of the disease and practical way of thinking in underwriting with our clients not only as a client service but also as an initiative that will contribute to the development of the underwriting skill in Japan.
We intend to continue to offer STEP LIFE while progressively enriching its content.

Initiatives for Shareholders

Toa Re continues to build a stable management-base as a strategic objective. A major part of this effort focuses on reinforcing the solid relationships we have with our shareholders.

We are stepping up our investor relations activities. For example, we meet with our shareholders before and/or after our Ordinary General Meeting of Shareholders to report on the closing of our financial accounts. Furthermore, we make every effort to respond quickly to inquiries from our shareholders. In this way, we hope to build on the long-term relationships of trust we enjoy with our shareholders.
