• * LGBTQ is an acronym that stands for Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender and Queer or Questioning persons, including persons with gender identity disorder.

If a policyholder wishes to designate a same-sex partner as a policy beneficiary, the designation procedures are easier to follow so long as the policyholder submits a copy of the certification issued under the partnership oath system of local governments.

Dai-ichi Life provides seminars to all employees to promote understanding of LGBTQ individuals.

Dai-ichi Life has established a system consisting of a consultation desk to respond to individual cases of consultation concerning LGBTQ issues.

In the policies (including the Code of Conduct) that employees are to follow, it explicitly states not to discriminate against others because of their sexual orientation or gender identity.
