In addition, in 2018, aiming for a workplace where employees can "work with peace of mind and be themselves even if they get cancer or an illness," we established the "Cancer/Illness Employment Support Program" consisting of three pillars: "Consultation (Peer Support)," "Balance," and "Prevention." We have continuously evolved our activities, such as creating a workplace environment to balance work and treatment, and founding "All Ribbons," a community for employees who have experienced cancer.
