2. Health and productivity management at the Company
Based on our corporate philosophy, “Everything we do is for our customers,” we aim to be the No. 1 company in the industry in Japan and to become a competitive world-class company. To this end, it is essential that each and every one of our employees is healthy in mind and body and that we are a team of professionals with integrity and high corporate ethics. We also believe that an energetic corporate culture based on a work environment that allows for smooth communication, job satisfaction, and the health of employees and their families is extremely important for the sustainable growth of a company and that the value of our existence can be enhanced by continuing to maintain and improve the health of our employees.
We have implemented the following initiatives for health and productivity management.
Key initiatives:
・Developing a structure for promoting health and productivity management, such as organizing the Health Management Promotion Committee under the Health Management Policy, and implementing various health related initiatives — including setting targets based on identified health issues — in collaboration with industrial physicians, public health nurses, the Diversity Promotion Committee, and the Safety and Health Committee.
・In conjunction with initiatives to prevent mental health issues, we promoted work–life balance by encouraging the utilization of paid leave, expanding the hourly paid leave system, and establishing an on site fitness gym, thereby contributing to the reduction of both presenteeism and absenteeism.
・After introducing an accumulated leave system for the three major diseases—cancer, heart disease (acute myocardial infarction), and stroke—and a sickness payment program for employees with such diseases, promoted awareness and endeavored to establish these systems as standard practice.
・Conducted analysis of employees’ health check data, established health targets after identifying health issues, and approached employees with high health risk values, resulting in a significant improvement in the detailed medical examination participation rate (from 29.3% in 2024 to 89.3% in 2025).
We will continue to implement various health promotion initiatives to encourage all employees to pursue health maintenance and improvement of their own volition.
