Fiscal 2022 Activity Report

Nationwide Clean Campaign　Taiyo Life

Taiyo Life is active in cleanup efforts nationwide, an activity that contributes to the local community. We have cleaned up the areas around our headquarters each year since 1982. Since 2004, we have conducted cleanups around our branches nationwide as part of the “Nationwide Clean Campaign,” from as far north as Hokkaido to as far south as Okinawa. Our employees are united in their commitment to contributing to society and conduct the cleanups as a way to thank local communities for their long-standing support.

Daido Life Employees’ Community Contribution Club

Established in 1992 to commemorate the Daido Life’s 90th year in business, the Daido Life Employees’ Community Contribution Club is a voluntary activity organization composed of Daido Life’s executives and employees; it works to promote and support fund-raising activities and volunteer activities by members. The club has also held a One-day Outing Volunteer Activity for the Physically Disabled since 1994, which is run by executives and employees. (The activity was cancelled in 2022 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.) The club provides participants with opportunities to deepen their understanding of disabilities by directly interacting with disabled people, including assisting wheelchair users or providing walking assistance.

Major Activities in FY2022
  • Fundraising and donations: Donations from executives and employees as well as revenues from charity calendar exhibitions were used to make contributions to facilities for the disabled as well as disability advocacy groups.
  • Volunteer activities: The club provided operational and other support for a music concert played by persons with disabilities.
  • Other activities: Used postage stamps and other items collected from branches nationwide were donated to organizations that support social contribution activities, for the benefit of international medical cooperation.

Supporting Sports for People with Disabilities　Daido Life

The inaugural National Sports Games for People with Intellectual Disabilities* was held in 1992, when Daido Life celebrated its 90th anniversary, and the company has been a special sponsor of the National Sports Festival for People with Disabilities every year since.

* In 2001, the National Sports Games for People with Intellectual Disabilities was integrated with the National Sports Games for People with Physical Disabilities to become the National Sports Festival for People with Disabilities.

Every year, Daido Life sets up a company booth in the Omotenashi Hiroba (Hospitality Plaza), a venue for interacting with participating athletes, where people with disabilities can enjoy sports experiences and free games; executives and employees from Daido Life, Taiyo Life, and other affiliated organizations work as volunteers to support this event. In 2022, the 22nd National Sports Festival for People with Disabilities was held in Tochigi Prefecture.

We have also been an official partner of the Japanese Para Sports Association since January 2015. In our capacity as a partner, we work to further popularize and develop sports for persons with disabilities.

Starting in fiscal 2017, Daido Life has implemented the Sustainability Together Movement as part of its company-wide regional and social contribution activities. In fiscal 2022, under the theme of “Contribution to SDGs,” divisions at head office and branches throughout Japan worked on various activities such as promoting 3R (reduction, reuse, and recycling), donating to developing countries, and conducting community-based cleaning activities.
