[Third Consecutive Year] ZenGroup Certified as a Health Management Excellent Corporation 2026

ZenGroup Inc. (Location: Chuo-ku, Osaka), which provides total support for cross-border e-commerce, is pleased to announce its certification as a "Health Management Excellent Corporation 2026 (Small and Medium Enterprise Department)" selected by the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry and the Japan Health Conference. This marks the third consecutive year that our company has been certified as a "Health Management Excellent Corporation."

At our company, we view "employee health as one of our management foundations" and actively promote the creation of an environment where employees can work in good health, both mentally and physically. Moving forward, we will continue to strive to create a workplace where employees of various nationalities and backgrounds can work with peace of mind, and as a global company with multinational members, we will also focus on health management that is considerate of diverse values.

In this announcement, we will introduce the background of the Health Management Excellent Corporation certification, as well as details of our specific initiatives and welfare benefits.

■What is the Health Management Excellent Corporation Certification System?

This is a recognition system certified by the Japan Health Conference that recognizes corporations, particularly large and small/medium-sized corporations, that practice excellent health management. It is based on initiatives related to local health issues and health promotion efforts promoted by the Japan Health Conference. The goal is to create an environment where excellent corporations that engage in health management are "visualized," enabling them to be socially recognized by employees, job seekers, related companies, and financial institutions as "corporations that consider employee health management from a management perspective and work on it strategically."

■Our Main Initiatives for Health Management

We believe that supporting each employee's health management leads to organizational revitalization such as improved employee vitality and productivity, and ultimately to improved performance and corporate value. To this end, we are implementing the following initiatives:

○ Employee Health Management

- In addition to regular health check-ups for all employees, we cover the costs of optional examinations such as gynecological and cancer screenings. - We provide information on health-related themes to all employees every other month. - We cover the costs of influenza vaccinations. - We provide beverages free of charge within the office. - We have set up activity facilities within the cafeteria to create a refreshing environment.

○ Mental Health Measures

- Implementation of stress checks. - Promotion of consultations with industrial physicians and nurses. - Implementation of daily surveys (employee engagement and condition surveys).

○ Internal Training to Support Diverse Human Resources

- We conduct training on themes such as unconscious bias, LGBT, and compliance.

○ Activation of Internal Communication

- We hold employee events through hobbies, both indoor and outdoor. - We encourage club activities. - We provide welcome lunches (company-sponsored) to promote interaction with new employees. - We have introduced a mentoring system.

■Effects and Future Prospects as Seen by Numbers

Our organization is steadily expanding, with new employees joining continuously every month; 8 more will join in April 2026. Despite this continuous growth, our employee retention rate has shown a positive impact as a result of creating a comfortable working environment. The retention rate (at 1 year of employment) for 39 full-time employees who joined between January 2024 and December 2024 and reached their 1-year anniversary in 2025 was a high 89.74%.

We consider the fact that we can maintain a high retention rate while continuing to recruit as an example of how our health management initiatives are contributing to improved engagement.

As a global company where multinational members are active, we will continue to aim for a balance between sustainable corporate growth and human resource development through our health management initiatives.
