Your voice can help to improve Japanese insurers’ climate policies!

Japan’s three major fossil fuel insurers, Tokio Marine, MS&AD, and Sompo, hold over 90% of Japan's domestic market share and support fossil fuel projects all over the world. 

Insurance is essential for the construction and operation of fossil fuel facilities. If these companies make major improvements in their climate policies, it would be a huge deal! 

Add your name in support of climate action from Japan’s leading fossil fuel insurers.

Tell Japanese Insurers to Take Climate Action!

Dear executives,

As the CEOs of Japan’s largest fossil fuel insurers, with projects all over the world, I implore you to update your fossil fuel underwriting policies to rule out all new fossil fuel projects. 

While each of your companies has gradually introduced climate policies over the years, the rate of these policies, and their impact, is very slow in comparison to your European peers such as Allianz and Generali. None of you have a policy to restrict underwriting conventional oil and gas projects or to phase out existing coal projects. 

As a concerned citizen, I implore you to consider these recommendations from Insure Our Future:

  1. Immediately cease insuring new and expanded coal, oil, and gas projects.

  2. Immediately stop insuring any new customers from the fossil fuel sector which have not published a transition plan aligned with a credible 1.5°C pathway, and stop offering any insurance services which support the expansion of coal, oil and gas production even among existing customers. By the end of 2025, completely phase out all insurance services for existing fossil fuel company customers which have not published such a transition plan. 

  3. Immediately divest all assets, including assets managed for third parties, from coal, oil, and gas companies which have not published a transition plan aligned with a credible 1.5°C pathway and scale up investments in a just, equitable, and rapid global transition to a clean energy economy.

  4. Immediately define and adopt binding targets for reducing your insured emissions which are transparent, comprehensive and aligned with a credible 1.5°C pathway. 

  5. Explore ways to bring fossil fuel companies to court in order to make polluters rather than insurance customers pay for the growing costs of climate disasters.

  6. Immediately establish, and adopt as policy, robust due diligence and verification mechanisms to ensure clients fully respect and observe all human rights, including a requirement that they obtain and document the Free, Prior, and Informed Consent (FPIC) of impacted Indigenous Peoples as articulated in the UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples. 

  7. Immediately bring stewardship activities, membership of trade associations and public positions as a shareholder and corporate citizen in line with a credible 1.5°C pathway in a transparent way.

Thanks for taking the time to Insure Our Future.
