Policy and Basic Approach

Health and Productivity Management Initiatives We believe a workplace environment where all employees can work with vitality while maintaining both physical and mental health is a crucial foundation supporting the company's sustainable growth. We have established a framework to actively promote employee health maintenance and enhancement, formulating our “Health and Productivity Management Declaration.”
While these efforts have been evaluated and recognized with our certification as an “KENKO Investment for Health Outstanding Organization,” we will continue to prioritize health management so that our employees can maintain both physical and mental well-being and perform at their best.

Health and Productivity Management Declaration

Based on our founding spirit, Gunze believes that “human resources” are the most important asset in corporate management.
We are committed to creating a workplace environment where every employee respects one another and can work with peace of mind, maintaining both physical and mental health.
We declare our commitment to actively promoting Health and Productivity Management, aiming to become a company essential to society by enabling each employee to fully utilize their abilities.

Initiatives

Certification as a Certified Health & Productivity Management Organization By strengthening our initiatives—including the formulation of a Health Management Declaration, a promotion framework, and a strategy map in 2025—we have been certified as a “KENKO Investment for Health Outstanding Organization 2026 (Large Enterprise Category).” We aim to be a company that is essential to society by enabling our employees to fully utilize their abilities, and we will continue to actively promote health management.

Mental Health In order to prevent the occurrence of mental health problems, the company is promoting line care training for managers and counseling services through the Mental Health Telephone Counseling Service.
In the future, we will conduct stress checks (including at workplaces with fewer than 50 employees, which are not legally required to conduct stress checks) to help employees understand their own stress status, and promote workplace analysis and counseling for high-stress employees in cooperation with occupational health physicians and others.

Efforts to Eliminate Workplace Accidents The company promotes activities aimed at "creating a safe, comfortable and enjoyable workplace" with zero occupational accidents.
Specifically, the Health and Safety Committee plays a central role in reducing the risk of occupational accidents through risk assessment, strengthening safe work training, and raising the safety awareness of each individual employee.
