Health-based Management and Occupational Health and Safety

We support the primary prevention of lifestyle-related diseases through diet and exercise.
"Food" - Promoting the consumption of salads and eggs, and sharing relevant information through the company cafeteria.
"Exercise" - Daily radio calisthenics and original training, and various events.

With the aim of "early detection and early treatment," we will promote increased cancer screening rates in the workplace by implementing in-house cancer screenings, granting cancer screening leave, and allowing regular health checkups and cancer screenings to be conducted on the same day.

We work in conjunction with industrial psychiatrists to promote the creation of a workplace environment where employees can maintain their mental health and work with enthusiasm.

*1Measurements will be taken using the University of Tokyo's single-item questionnaire (SPQ) starting in fiscal year 2025. In fiscal year 2025, there were 2,675 individual respondents and 9,366 group respondents. Until fiscal year 2024, calculations were performed using group-specific mental indicators, therefore year-on-year comparisons are not available.

At Kewpie Group, we set health goals every year to ensure that our employees can continue to work in good health and with vitality.
Starting in fiscal year 2026, the name will be changed to "My Health Actions," and the aim is to make healthy behaviors a habit by having each individual proactively decide on and practice their own health actions, and reflect on them quarterly.

the Kewpie Aohata Health Insurance Association conducts a "Health Up Campaign" once a year to encourage employees to improve their lifestyles and address lifestyle-related diseases. Participants choose a challenge course and work on it for a set period. In fiscal year 2025, the "Start with Salad" course was the most popular, followed by the "Use the Stairs" course. The group-wide participation rate in fiscal year 2025 reached a record high of 91%.

To ensure that every employee can enjoy a healthy life, we promote meals centered around "salad and eggs." As part of our internal branding efforts, we communicate the value of "salad and eggs" and the importance of healthy eating through daily meals, even from our company cafeteria.

With the aim of maintaining and improving the health of our group employees, we eliminated smoking areas on the premises of our two offices in Tokyo (Shibuya Ward and Chofu City) and implemented a complete smoking ban on the premises starting April 1, 2020. At the same time, we have created a workplace environment free from passive smoking at all of our offices, including those within the group.
In addition, we are engaged in awareness-raising activities to encourage employees to quit smoking, such as conducting smoking cessation seminars by industrial physicians and displaying posters in conjunction with World No Tobacco Day. Since 2017, we have been supporting employees in quitting smoking, and we currently have a system in place to subsidize the out-of-pocket expenses for smoking cessation clinic visits and smoking cessation medications, thereby continuously supporting employees in their efforts to quit smoking.

In addition to regular health checkups for all employees, Kewpie Group recommends comprehensive medical checkups and Kewpie Group's unique three-part health checkup (stomach cancer, colorectal cancer, and abdominal ultrasound) for employees aged 35 and over, and gynecological examinations (breast cancer and cervical cancer) for female employees aged 20 and over. These examinations are subsidized by the Kewpie Aohata Health Insurance Association, and the subsidy amount was reviewed in fiscal year 2025.
Furthermore, in order to strengthen the environment that makes it easier for employees to receive cancer screenings, we will be implementing various measures to achieve Kewpie Group's target screening rate of 80% by granting "special leave for cancer screenings," conducting workplace group cancer screenings using mobile screening vehicles, implementing workplace colorectal cancer screenings, and collaborating with nearby medical institutions.

As our overseas operations expand, we have established the same health management system for expatriates as we do for employees stationed in Japan. Annual comprehensive health checkups are mandatory, and advice from public health nurses is provided as needed. For mental health, we conduct interviews and stress checks after employees arrive at their new locations. We have also introduced online consultations with industrial physicians, creating a secure environment where employees can seek advice from anywhere in the world.
We support our employees in maintaining their health and performing at their best, no matter where they are.

We are committed to addressing the health challenges faced by our female employees and creating a safe and secure working environment.
We have established a consultation service for women regarding issues specific to their gender, and our in-house health nurses provide attentive support.
We are also working to promote participation in gynecological cancer screenings to facilitate early detection and appropriate treatment, as well as to disseminate health-related information.
We are creating an environment where female employees can thrive for a long time while taking care of their own health.
