[FCE] Corporate Resilience Training "Rescle®" Partner Companies Now Able to Utilize Sales Tools Featuring Keisuke Honda's Likeness

FCE Co., Ltd. (Head Office: Shinjuku-ku, Tokyo; President and CEO: Junetsu Ishikawa; Securities Code: 9564) has decided to allow partner companies in its "Rescle®" corporate resilience training partner program to use specified sales tools featuring the likeness of its ambassador, Keisuke Honda. This will enable partner companies to utilize FCE's designated creative assets in sales materials, web banners, and other promotional activities. FCE will continue to strengthen its support system for partner companies and promote solutions to corporate challenges such as "mental health issues among young employees" and "early turnover."

**Deepening Mental Health Issues Among Young Employees and Strengthening Partner Support for Solutions**
Recently, approximately 20% of full-time employees in their 20s have experienced mental health issues, with over 30% of them resigning, making mental health issues among young employees a serious management challenge for companies (※1). Furthermore, "presenteeism" (being at work but unable to perform at full capacity) due to mental health issues is estimated to cause an annual loss of 695,000 yen per person (※2) and a total loss of 7.3 trillion yen across Japan (※3). Therefore, mental health issues are an urgent management challenge for companies.

In response to these challenges, FCE developed "Rescle®," a corporate resilience training program designed to cultivate "the ability to bounce back flexibly = resilience." In December 2025, Keisuke Honda was welcomed as an ambassador, embodying this philosophy, and in January 2026, FCE began recruiting partner companies. We have received numerous inquiries from various companies. Amidst this, as part of strengthening our support system to facilitate partner companies' sales activities, we are launching the provision of sales tools utilizing Keisuke Honda's likeness.

**Value Provided to Partner Companies Through Sales Tools Utilizing Keisuke Honda's Likeness**
Keisuke Honda's image, embodying "challenge," "indomitable spirit," and "pursuit of self-growth," deeply aligns with the values offered by "Rescle®." Partner companies can expect the following effects by utilizing sales tools such as flyers, proposal documents, and web banners provided by FCE:

**Increased Recognition Through High Appeal**
By utilizing highly visible visuals, increased interest during proposals and enhanced recognition on the web can be expected.

**Enhanced Trust in Service and Brand Image**
The fact that Keisuke Honda serves as an ambassador for the training is expected to foster a sense of security and trust for companies considering its introduction.

**Streamlined Sales Activities**
As the service concept can be conveyed at a glance, proposal activities for problem-solving are expected to become smoother.

**What is "Rescle®" Corporate Resilience Training?**
"Rescle" is a coined word combining "Resilience" and "Muscle," meaning "to train the muscles of the mind." Developed by FCE, which has a track record in training programs such as "The 7 Habits," under the supervision of Koji Kuze, a leading expert in resilience and author of the bestseller "How to Build Resilience."
