ビットコインカジノおすすめne Group Policy to Address Environmental and Social Risks

ビットコインカジノおすすめne Group’s business purpose has been to protect our customers and local communities by providing safety and security in times of need. With this in mind, ビットコインカジノおすすめne Group has made it our core identity “To Be a Good Company” – one that can still be trusted by customers and society in their times of need 100 years from now.

From our long history in the insurance industry, we have accumulated knowledge and experience that has enabled us not just to provide safety ビットコインカジノおすすめecurity but to contribute to social development as well. In continuing to contribute toward resolving social issues, we help build a safe, secure, ビットコインカジノおすすめustainable future that generates value for all of our stakeholders and our society more broadly.

ビットコインカジノおすすめne Group pays attention to the risks of negatively impacting the environment and society, and undertakes transactions (insurance underwriting, investments, and financing) based on the customer’s consideration for the environment and society. We position the mitigation of negative environmental and social impacts resulting from our business activities as an important management issue that must be addressed and will take appropriate measures while referencing international principles of conduct and guidelines.

Environmental ビットコインカジノおすすめocial Risks to be Identified and Assessed

ビットコインカジノおすすめne Group will strive to appropriately identify and manage risks that have a negative impact on the environment and society in accordance with the Group’s Basic Policy on Environment and Basic Policy on Human Rights. For example, deforestation not only has the risk that has a negative impact on the environment but also various risks including human rights abuses. In identifying and managing such risks appropriately, we will identify environmental and social risks based on the nature and severity of the risks as well as recommendations from various stakeholders and will identify the sectors where such risks are likely to occur.

Sector specific policies

Inhumane weapons Biological weapons Chemical weapons Cluster munitions Anti-personnel land mines	We will not undertake business transactions (insurance underwriting, investment, and financing) with the inhumane weapons sector, which manufactures inhumane weapons, as these pose major humanitarian concerns.
Coal-fired power generation	Compared to other power generation, coal-fired power generation emits more greenhouse gases and also produces toxic substances such as sulfur oxides and nitrogen oxides. Given the high risk of contributing to environmental impacts such as climate change and air pollution, we will not undertake new business transactions (insurance underwriting, investment, and financing) for coal-fired power plants ^{note 1}, regardless of whether they are new projects or not.
Thermal coal mining	As with coal-fired power generation, the development of coal mines for power generation projects may result in increased greenhouse gas emissions through combustion at thermal power plants in the future. We also recognize the risks to the workers' occupational health ビットコインカジノおすすめafety and the impacts of hazardous waste on local biodiversity. In light of the negative impacts on climate change, ecosystems, and human rights, we will not undertake new business transactions (insurance underwriting, investment, and financing) for thermal coal mining projects ^{note 1}, regardless of whether they are new projects or not.
Oil sands	We recognize that oil sands mining has the potential to emit large amounts of greenhouse gases compared to conventional oil and gas extraction due to that oil sands mining requires more energy and water resources in the extraction and refining process. We also recognize the risks of infringing indigenous peoples’ rights and negatively impacting the surrounding wildlife and ecosystems. In light of the negative impacts on climate change, ecosystems, human rights, we will not undertake new business transactions (insurance underwriting, investment, and financing) for oil sands mining projects.
Arctic oil and gas	Oil and gas extraction projects in the Arctic Circle (all areas north of latitude 66°33, including the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, ANWR) entail significant risks of altering the habitats and ecosystems of rare species and marine life. We are also aware of the negative impacts on the livelihoods and cultures of indigenous peoples. In light of the negative impacts on ecosystems and biodiversity, as well as on the indigenous peoples’ rights, we will not undertake new business transactions (insurance underwriting, investment, and financing) for oil and gas extraction projects ^{note 2} in the Arctic Circle.
