On March 2, we were certified under the 2020 Certified Health & Productivity Management Outstanding Organizations Recognition Program among the SME group designed by the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry and Nippon Kenko Kaigi.

This will be our third consecutive year of recognition starting in 2018.

This progtam aims to highlight outstanding enterprises engaging in efforts to advance health and productivity management, the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry (METI) has been designing the Certified Health & Productivity Management Organization Recognition Program as an initiative held by the Health Investment Working Group of the Healthcare and Medical Care New Industrial Council, a body holding joint meetings with the Health and Productivity Management 500 Working Group of the Nippon Kenko Kaigi (quote from METI website).

This time, we applied for a new shorter working hour system for full-time employees, which includes an extension of the scope of coverage to the early grades of elementary school.

Keeping in mind our company motto, "Respect for humanity as the foundation of everything we do," we are working to balance work and family life and to create a comfortable working environment for our employees.
