Our shared mission: By your side for life

Daiichi Life’s mission—to be ‘by your side for life’—has deep cultural meaning and is a strong operating principle for Daiichi Life businesses around the world. Companies in the Daiichi Life Group aim to contribute to better lives and communities, standing beside customers and their loved ones for life.

Daiichi Life's founding philosophy of Customer First was displayed to the world during the earthquake and subsequent tsunami on 11 March 2011. Faced with enormous challenges, Daiichi Life's people immediately went to look for survivors at the evacuation centres, so they could receive their payments. Daiichi Life was able to contact nearly all customers in the affected areas and deliver benefit payments for 860,000 policies.

This dedication has meant Daiichi Life's relationship with its customers (kizuna in Japanese) is now even stronger because of this experience. Such strength—and unwavering focus on putting the customer first—is why we're immensely proud to be part of the Daiichi Life Group, with our shared mission of standing by our customers and their loved ones, for life.

This mission has guided an employee philosophy statement and how we work with each other, our customers, and our communities. It represents a strong belief that employees need to have a working environment where they feel inspired to grow, have a sense of belonging and feel energised and supported. It is who we are on our best day, and what we want to be everyday.
