Under the theme of "my health," the Kewpie Group undertakes activities to support good health for employees throughout the year. Personal goals were previously being posted in workplaces, but starting in FY2023 they are being posted on the company intranet to reduce environmental impacts (the use of paper and display magnets), although goals are still being posted on-site in some plants and workplaces that have no intranet access.

The Kewpie Aohata Health Insurance Association runs the "Health Up Campaign" once a year to call for lifestyle improvements and to provide an opportunity for employees to review their lifestyle habits.
The participation rate fell below 60% at one point during the COVID-19 pandemic, but reached a record high of 69% in FY2022.
This campaign is a large event attended by about two-thirds of Group employees.

We hold themed fairs and events, and implement initiatives to improve employees' dietary habits.

To maintain and improve the health of Group employees, on April 1, 2020, we removed the on-site smoking areas at our two offices in Tokyo (Shibuya-ku and Chofu-city), making the entire site smoke-free. At the same time, we are working on creating work environments that are free of passive smoking at all of our offices, including those of our Group companies.
Since 2017 we have also been strengthening our support for employees who wish to give up smoking, and we are encouraging them to take up the challenge. For example, we subsidize co-pays for smoking cessation clinics and smoking cessation medication, and we are providing commemorative gifts to those who succeed in giving up smoking by themselves.

In addition to regular health checkups for all employees, the Kewpie Group offers medical examinations and Kewpie Group's set of three examinations (gastric cancer screening, colorectal cancer screening, and abdominal ultrasound examination) to employees aged 35 and above, and gynecological examinations (breast cancer screening and uterine cancer screening) to female employees aged 20 and above. These medical checkups are subsidized by the Kewpie Aohata Health Insurance Association.
To make it easier for employees to take medical examinations, we are implementing a variety of initiatives aimed at raising to 80% the ratio of Kewpie Group employees having health checkups, such as by offering leave for medical screening and scheduling cancer screenings by mobile vehicles for groups of employees at a workplace.

As our international businesses expand, the number of employees stationed overseas is also increasing year by year.
To maintain the same standard of health management as employees stationed in Japan, those stationed overseas also receive a comprehensive medical check-up once a year and, if necessary, receive advice from nurses. Furthermore, we also provide mental health support by conducting interviews and stress checks three months into the employee’s work overseas.
