(*2)

Sumitomo Life Insurance, based on its commitment to building a WaaS ecosystem, has been offering free classes for junior and senior high school students on financial literacy and career education, delivered by a company in the private sector in the belief that "we want to improve the wellbeing of children" and "we want to give children opportunities to learn about their options for the future." Since last year, we have held free classes for junior and senior high school students on financial literacy, career education, and other topics that a private company can only deliver. During these classes, we received a request from educational institutions to have sex education classes given by specialists, not schools or parents, which led to the concept this time.

(*3)

Pre-conception Care is a series of initiatives that help women and couples face their own lives and health, increase their chances of having healthy babies, and support women and their future families to lead healthier lives.

(*4)

FamiOne is planning, developing, and operating internet content focusing on fertility and infertility treatment support. Sumitomo Life Insurance is currently working with FamiOne on the joint development of solutions in pre-conception care.

4. New service for improving the well-being of families raising children

  • Participating companies/organization : Lion Corporation, Tomoiku Co., Ltd., Sumitomo Life
    Insurance Company

  • Overview: The focus was on maternity and parental leave as the significant time that leads to the well-being of families raising children. The concept of the service is to provide an opportunity to create a vision of what you and your family want to be and to provide reliable information on family life, money, health, and childcare, as well as to build a solid infrastructure for family life that will last long after returning to work and beyond, by providing a reliable specialist to accompany you throughout the before and after childbirth, to enable you to welcome a new family member with confidence. Our vision is to provide a service that builds the basis for family life after returning to work and for a long time afterward. We aim to start commercialization as soon as possible, after verifying the impact of providing the solutions during the maternity and parental leave periods described above on the family's lifestyle, happiness, and job satisfaction after returning to work, through a trial in the spring of 2023.
