## Points of Certification (Our Initiatives)
### 1. Enhancement of Welfare Systems Supporting an Environment Where Diverse Employees Can Work Easily
At our company, we provide support by combining multiple welfare systems to create an environment where diverse employees can work easily according to their respective situations. We have established systems such as the special leave system "YOU-kyu" (meaning "your leave"), "Fun Fund" to encourage interaction among employees, and a workation system in Hagi City, Yamaguchi Prefecture, our second base. These systems enable flexible utilization according to work styles. We review and update these systems based on usage status and employee feedback, in line with changes in the social environment and work styles.

### 2. Utilization of Welfare for Supporting Work Styles According to Life Stages
To ensure that each employee can work healthily and true to themselves, both physically and mentally, we support employees who balance childcare, caregiving, and medical treatment with their work. The full-flex system provides an environment where employees can easily adjust their workload and working hours flexibly. Furthermore, even during leave periods, we arrange opportunities for dialogue with their managers upon request, which helps alleviate concerns about career continuity and supports their return to work.

### 3. Establishment and Workplace Penetration of Our Unique Welfare Systems
Our company is working to establish and promote our unique welfare systems within the workplace with the aim of creating an environment where employees can work with peace of mind, without feeling disadvantaged due to physical or mental discomfort. As part of this initiative, we have established a special leave system called "YOU-kyu," which can be used not only for women's menstruation or gynecological visits but also for infertility treatment or treatment for menopausal disorders, regardless of gender. We have made menstrual leave, which was previously unpaid, paid, and by holding mandatory seminars for all employees on menstruation, understanding has deepened, leading to an awareness that employees can take leave without overexertion when feeling unwell.

## Future Outlook
We believe that welfare initiatives are not about establishing systems for their own sake, but rather are continuous improvement activities aimed at creating an organization where employees can work vibrantly and maximize their performance. Moving forward, we will continue to promote the creation of an environment where diverse employees can continue to work easily by establishing new systems, expanding existing ones, and improving operations, taking into account system usage and changes in the social environment.
