Nippon Steel Trading Corporation (head office: Chuo-ku, Tokyo; President: Shinichi Nakamura; hereinafter, "our company") has been recognized under the 2023 Certified Health & Productivity Management Outstanding Organizations Recognition Program (large enterprise category). This is the fourth consecutive year that our company has been selected by the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry and the Nippon Kenko Kaigi under the recognition program.
Our company has set the enhanced efforts of health management as an important theme for enhancing ESG management. To prevent our employees from becoming ill and improve their health, the company; the Human Resources Department, the doctor’s room, and other members of the health management promotion team; and the health insurance association are working together to advance health management, aiming to steadily raise the standard.
We will continue to create an environment where employees can work without undue worries. To be a company achieving strong growth and contributing to society, we will keep health-conscious policies in place and establish an employee-friendly workplace environment.
○ Key Health Management Initiatives in FY 2022
