MetLife Life Special Sponsorship for "DEJIMA Haku" and "Kodomo DEJIMA Haku"

MetLife Life Insurance K.K. (Representative Executive Officer, Chairman, President, CEO Dirk Osteen) will once again be a special sponsor for "DEJIMA Haku" and "Kodomo DEJIMA Haku," two of Nagasaki's largest events hosted by Nagasaki International Television (NIB), held at Nagasaki Mizubenomori Park and other venues in 2026. "DEJIMA Haku" is a flagship event of Nagasaki, held annually during Golden Week by NIB, aiming to create new exchange populations to overcome regional population decline and promote local revitalization. In 2016, it was certified as the first "Nagasaki Creation Project" by Nagasaki City. In 2026, based on the philosophy of "moving further forward for the children who will bear the future," the experiential event "Kodomo DEJIMA Haku" will also be held, where children can take center stage. Our company deeply resonates with the purpose of this event, which provides opportunities for children to learn and challenge themselves safely, and we continuously support its initiatives. "DEJIMA Haku" is scheduled to be held at Nagasaki Mizubenomori Park from Saturday, May 2 to Wednesday, May 6, 2026. "Kodomo DEJIMA Haku" is scheduled to be held at Dejima Messe Nagasaki from Saturday, May 2 to Sunday, May 10, 2026. As a company with a major base in Nagasaki, our company has endorsed the purpose of this event and has been continuously providing special sponsorship since 2021. In 2026, we will continue to support activities linked to the growth of children, including "Kodomo DEJIMA Haku," while valuing our connection with the community, fostering vibrancy in Nagasaki, and contributing to a better future for the next generation. To achieve our purpose, "Walking together towards a more certain future," our company has selected five key sustainability challenges. Under one of these, "contributing to the creation of a rich regional society," we will continue our community-rooted activities to support people's more certain future.
