On March 4, we were selected under the 2021 Certified Health & Productivity Management Outstanding Organizations Recognition Program, a joint initiative of the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry and the Japan Health Council, as one of the Best Corporations for Health Management (Bright 500 in the small and medium-sized corporation category).

We have been certified for the fourth consecutive year since 2018 for the Excellent Health Management Corporation and for the first time since 2021 for the Bright 500.

The "Bright 500" award is presented to the top 500 corporations from the "Excellent Corporations for Health Management 2021 (Small and Medium-Sized Corporations Category)" that are "outstanding companies among the excellent corporations for health management" and "companies that promote health management in the community".

In the current fiscal year, our health management efforts included the installation of smoking rooms in conjunction with the construction of a new plant and the distribution of masks to employees under the declaration of a state of emergency in the Corona disaster. We will continue to actively engage in health management so as not to be embarrassed by our Bright 500 status.
