(*1) “Solar Power Plant in Kindergarten ☆ Program”:
This is a program started by Sony Assurance in 2009, and is a donation campaign that utilizes the system that allows policyholders to check the mileage they have driven at the time of signing up for their “insurance premium only for the amount of time they drive” car insurance. If the actual mileage is shorter than the one at the time of contract, it is considered that the amount of exhaust gas (CO2) emissions was lower than expected and contributed to environmental conservation. In order to further increase our policyholders’ contribution to the environment, we donate an amount determined based on the total distance covered by our policyholders to the Sorabair Fund.
