Sompo Japan Insurance Inc. and J.S.B.Co.,Ltd. entered into a partnership agreement in September 2026 aimed at promoting regional revitalization, local settlement of students, and disaster preparedness awareness. The two companies will promote support for student life, community contribution activities, and the creation of new services through data utilization.
With population decline and the outflow of younger people from regional areas posing challenges, Sompo Japan Insurance Inc. and J.S.B.Co.,Ltd. decided to enter into a partnership agreement that contributes to regional revitalization, drawing on their respective strengths to address regional issues and help create a sustainable society. The agreement aims to give students opportunities to engage with local communities and encourage them to settle in the area.
The agreement's main initiatives include providing information and holding seminars for students to secure human resources, supporting student life and promoting participation in community contribution activities, applying risk management to disaster preparedness and mitigation, and creating new services through data utilization. Through these initiatives, the companies aim to deepen ties between local communities and students.
As specific initiatives, the companies plan to provide practical disaster preparedness and mitigation content to residents of student apartments operated by J.S.B.Co.,Ltd. and local residents. They also plan to hold workshops to create evacuation maps, disaster preparedness education events, and job-experience fairs in collaboration with local companies.
These partnerships are expected to help create an environment in which students can live safely, foster personal development and attachment to the community through interaction with local residents, and contribute to building disaster-resilient communities and promoting regional revitalization.
