Town News Co., Ltd. Acquires Top-Tier 'Class AAA' Certification in 'Yokohama Health Management Certification 2026'

Town News Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Aoba-ku, Yokohama City; Representative Director: Tomonari Uyama; hereinafter, Town News Co.) has acquired the highest rank, 'Class AAA,' in the 'Yokohama Health Management Certification 2026' system, which certifies businesses committed to health management by Yokohama City.

This certification, a step up from last year's 'Class AA,' recognizes our company's continuous efforts to improve the working environment.

Background of this certification acquisition Our company is currently promoting its 'Second Medium-Term Management Plan,' and one of its key initiatives is 'Realizing work styles appropriate for the times (promoting health management).' We are convinced that creating an environment where each employee can perform at their best, both mentally and physically, leads to providing high-quality information to the local community, and we have established a company-wide system to achieve this.

Main initiatives In acquiring the top-tier 'Class AAA' certification, we have particularly strengthened the following items:

1. Improvement of working environment and productivity: We are thoroughly correcting long working hours and enhancing work-life balance to transform into a 'highly productive organization' that achieves results within limited time.

2. Promotion of 100% regular health check-up rate: Based on the policy of 'A healthy and rich life begins with knowing oneself,' we are promoting health check-ups as the foundation of self-management.

3. Meal subsidies and club activities: We identify health issues in our workplaces, such as employees who need lipid care, and provide financial assistance for meals. We also support club activities.

4. Mental health and communication activation: We promote mental and physical care for employees and build a workplace environment with open communication.

Future outlook Taking this 'Class AAA' acquisition as an opportunity, we will continue to practice further improvements in the working environment and health promotion measures without stopping. As a media company rooted in the community, we aim to achieve both employee happiness and business growth, and contribute even more to the local community.
