About 'Health & Productivity Management' at J-OIL MILLS

We believe that our employees are the driving force behind our stable, medium- to long-term growth, and we position the ability of our employees to continue working in good physical and mental health as a key management priority. Based on this philosophy, we have actively promoted 'Health & Productivity Management' by implementing various measures to maintain and improve employee health.

While our initiatives previously focused on addressing specific health issues, we have recently placed greater emphasis on realizing well-being, advancing efforts to comprehensively support both physical and mental health. Specifically, we are creating an environment where employees can proactively think about and take action regarding their own health through the distribution of videos on a wide range of health topics and the use of services that support collaboration with medical institutions.

Furthermore, we have introduced and operate counseling services to prevent mental health issues and support the smooth return to work for employees who have taken leave due to such issues. This establishes a system where employees can consult with peace of mind, allowing us to continue building an environment where they can work comfortably, both physically and mentally.

In addition, we do not merely track the implementation status of these measures; we quantify behavioral changes and shifts in health indicators to the extent possible, conducting effectiveness evaluations to ensure our initiatives remain highly practical.

We also prioritize the promotion of work-life balance and measures against overwork. We monitor working hours using system logs, issue alerts to employees expected to work long hours, and review labor management and work styles.

Moreover, as a new initiative starting in fiscal year 2025, we introduced 'Recharge Days.' This policy encourages employees to use their time for themselves, utilizing paid leave or flextime to set aside time for enjoyment within working hours, with the goal of refreshing their minds and bodies according to their lifestyle and situation. We position this as a measure to support a sustainable working environment by balancing work and private life, and by promoting physical and mental recovery and vitality.

Moving forward, we will continue to strengthen our support system for employees from both mental and physical perspectives in collaboration with specialists such as industrial physicians, further enhancing our Health & Productivity Management. By creating an environment where each employee can work vibrantly, we aim to improve corporate value and achieve sustainable growth.

To ensure that every employee can maximize their potential, we will continue to promote the creation of a workplace where employees can work safely and healthily. By developing comfortable environments and systems, we aim to realize our vision: 'Joy for Life® - Joy for the future through food®.'
