SalivaTech Co., Ltd. (Representative Director: Makoto Sunamura, hereinafter 'SalivaTech'), the developer of the 'SalivaChecker' cancer risk test using saliva, is pleased to announce that it has been certified as a 'Health & Productivity Management Outstanding Organization (SME category 'Bright 500')' by the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry for the second consecutive year as of March 9, 2026.

As a company supporting 'pre-symptomatic care and prevention' through technology, we believe that employee health is the source of innovation. This fiscal year, we have strengthened our initiatives for both mind and body, including having all employees undergo our proprietary 'SalivaChecker' test, providing nutrition-based mental care, and implementing communication measures that leverage local culture.

Key Initiatives for This Term: We view 'Health and Productivity Management' as a pillar of our management strategy and focus on three axes: 1. Mental Health: Held nutrition seminars by experts to deepen knowledge of diet directly linked to mental health prevention. Promoted flexible work styles through flextime and encouraged paid leave. Utilized engagement surveys to improve the workplace environment. 2. Physical & Communication: Created opportunities for exercise through radio calisthenics and walking events. Provided thorough follow-ups after health checkups. Held local 'Imoni-kai' (taro potato party) events to foster cross-departmental communication and psychological safety. 3. Investment in Preventive Medicine: Provided 'SalivaChecker' to all employees as a benefit. By experiencing the value of our own technology, employees increase their health awareness and are encouraged to take concrete actions toward early detection and treatment.

Comment from Representative Director Makoto Sunamura: 'I am honored to be certified for the second consecutive year. As a company delivering 'preventive medicine' to society, we must first enjoy that value ourselves. Employee health is our greatest asset. We will continue to pursue a workplace where employees are full of vitality and work with smiles.'
