In 1967, for the first time in the Co-op Kobe Group, Kyoei Unyu Sangyo Co., Ltd. was established as an affiliated company responsible for the logistics of Co-op Kobe (then Nada Kobe Consumer Co-op). Subsequently, in 1991, the company name was changed to the current Co-op Moving Co., Ltd. In 2027, we will celebrate our 60th anniversary.
We are pleased to announce that Co-op Moving Co., Ltd. has been certified as a "Health Management Excellent Corporation 2026 Next Bright 1000" in the Small and Medium-sized Enterprise Corporation category of the "Health Management Excellent Corporation 2026" program, conducted by the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry and the Japan Health Conference.
Our company has been certified as a Health Management Excellent Corporation for five consecutive years, and this time marks our second consecutive year, from fiscal year 2025, to be recognized as "Next Bright 1000" (added for corporations ranked 501-1500).
With this certification, we will continue to focus on occupational health management, including work management, work environment management, and health management, based on the fundamentals of occupational health.
**[Health Management Initiatives]**
1. **Complete Participation in Regular Health Check-ups**
We ensure regular health check-ups are taken, and for those with findings from their check-ups, we also ensure they see their primary physician and submit a report.
2. **Health Maintenance and Promotion Activities**
① We offer colorectal cancer screenings during regular health check-ups for those who wish to undergo them.
② We provide brain check-ups (nōdock) as a business expense for full-time drivers aged 50 and over.
③ Health checks such as bone density tests, body composition measurements, and self-assessments for fall risk are conducted at three business locations for interested employees.
④ We provide financial subsidies to individuals who receive influenza vaccinations.
3. **Building Healthy Habits**
We conduct a health questionnaire for all employees, through which they make a "Health Declaration" about their own well-being.
4. **Promotion of Smoking Cessation**
We have designated the 22nd of every month as "No Smoking Day" and conduct awareness activities using videos and posters about smoking cessation.
5. **Encouragement of Full Medical Check-up System**
The company offers a subsidy of up to ¥20,000 to make the system more accessible for more employees. In fiscal year 2026, with subsidies from the Association of Health Insurance Societies, check-ups can be received at no out-of-pocket cost.
6. **Specific Health Check-ups for Dependents**
We encourage dependents to receive their health check-ups free of charge at designated hospitals to make it easier for them.
7. **Improvement of a Safe Working Environment**
Towards zero work-related accidents, we are continuously conducting risk assessments at all business sites. Furthermore, in fiscal year 2026, we will set up model sites and promote the separation of forklifts and pedestrians (pedestrian-vehicle separation).
8. **Correction of Long Working Hours**
We ensure that no employee exceeds the national standard of "45 hours" of overtime, and each business site sets overtime goals tailored to its specific operations, working company-wide to reduce overtime.
9. **Eradication of Harassment**
We conduct harassment awareness checks for all employees and provide harassment training for newly appointed personnel to work towards eradicating harassment.
10. **Promotion of Communication**
Instead of letting "small good deeds in daily life" go unnoticed, we praise and share them with each other as "actions". We also hold workplace meetings to foster mutual understanding of what each person is thinking and feeling within the workplace.
With our corporate philosophy of "Delivering! Connecting! The Circle of Cooperation," we value the challenge of each employee creating business through their own efforts. We will continue to promote health management to ensure a work environment where diverse employees feel fulfilled, comfortable, and can work with peace of mind.
