To promote health and productivity management, we hold management-level meetings to confirm the overall policy for health and productivity management and the status of initiatives. In addition, the Group Health and Productivity Management Promotion Council sets common Group indicators and targets and implements the PDCA cycle to ensure "health and productivity management that produces results." We consider and decide on measures based on the results of health checkups and stress checks, and promote them with the aim of achieving our "ideal state" as a Group.

Group-wide Health and Productivity Management Strategy Map
In promoting health and productivity management, we have created a Group-wide health and productivity management strategy map to identify health issues that can lead to the resolution of management issues and to translate them into specific initiatives to resolve these issues. By visualizing the story, we are increasing the effectiveness of our initiatives.

Toyo Seikan Group 's Infectious Disease Prevention Measures
In addition to the legally required health checkups for employees assigned overseas before and after departure, Toyo Seikan Group also conducts similar health checkups for accompanying employees, and employees assigned overseas are checked for both physical and mental health through interviews with industrial physicians before and after departure. Prior to their overseas assignment, the Group provides advance guidance and support regarding health management at the assigned destination, including information on infectious diseases such as tuberculosis, HIV, and viral hepatitis, as well as information on infectious diseases specific to the region, such as malaria and dengue fever, and how to prevent them. Furthermore, based on the vaccination information for overseas travel recommended by the Ministry of Health, Labor, and Welfare, the Group provides guidance on and financial assistance with vaccinations required at the destination.
To support health management during overseas assignments, we constantly monitor the status of infectious disease outbreaks overseas based on information from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the World Health Organization (WHO), and use this information to respond appropriately. We post contact information for health consultation desks and introductions to local medical institutions on our intranet. In particular, in China, Vietnam, and Malaysia, we post information on how to use medical support services available 24 hours a day, and have established a system where employees can easily consult with industrial physicians and industrial health professionals, supporting a safe and secure life overseas.
In Japan, in accordance with the "Act on Prevention of Infectious Diseases and Medical Care for Patients of Infectious Diseases (Infectious Diseases Act)," we conduct chest X-rays as part of annual health checkups to prevent tuberculosis. If abnormalities are found in white blood cells or liver function, we take appropriate measures, such as recommending detailed tests.
In addition, in response to infectious diseases such as seasonal influenza, we strive to prevent the spread of infection in the workplace by requiring employees to stay at home if they become ill, in order to prevent the spread of infection from affecting business activities.We also disseminate information via our in-house portal and promote the use of telecommuting.As a measure to prevent influenza, our health insurance association subsidizes the cost of vaccinations.
