Zurich Life Insurance Joins 'deleteC Campaign 2026' to Support Cancer Treatment Research

Zurich Life Insurance Co., Ltd. (President and CEO: Takeo Ohta, hereinafter "the company") announces its participation as the first life insurance company* in the 'Learning' and 'Everyone's CSA!' actions of the 'deleteC Campaign 2026' organized by certified NPO deleteC. The company will support deleteC's activities by promoting actions to support cancer treatment research and assistance.

Under the Zurich Insurance Group's purpose of 'Create a brighter future together,' the company aims to expand choices and opportunities for individuals facing illness or hardship through various CSR initiatives.

The 'deleteC Campaign' is a Casual Social Action (CSA) based on the message of eliminating the letter 'C'—symbolizing cancer (in English)—with the goal of 'making cancer a curable disease through everyone's power.' Companies and individuals collaborate across boundaries to donate to cancer treatment research and support. Starting on Tuesday, September 1, 2026, in conjunction with Cancer Control Month, the project will implement four actions: 'Posting,' 'Shopping,' 'Learning,' and 'Everyone's CSA!'

The company will participate in the 'Learning' and 'Everyone's CSA!' actions to support this initiative.

① Hosting Online Sessions ('Learning' Action)

The company will host online sessions as part of employee education, inviting deleteC representatives to introduce the 'deleteC Campaign 2026,' including its activities, participation methods, and the current landscape of cancer treatment research.

② 100% Matching Donations ('Everyone's CSA!' Action)

From September 1 to September 30, 2026, the company will conduct a donation campaign among employees. The Z Zurich Foundation, a foundation under the Switzerland-based Zurich Insurance Group, will provide 100% matching donations, with the total amount fully donated to deleteC.

The Z Zurich Foundation prioritizes 'Social Equity' as a key theme, working toward a society where everyone can access necessary support and opportunities. Support for deleteC is part of this effort. This initiative aligns with the company's purpose of expanding choices and opportunities for those facing illness and co-creating a 'brighter future' with customers. Through deleteC's activities, the company aims to expand the circle of research and support for those affected by cancer. Additionally, it seeks to encourage employees and stakeholders to reflect on the challenges of living with illness as a personal matter.

Moving forward, the company will continue its CSR activities to help realize a society where everyone can look to the future with hope and security.
