・ Implementation framework

The ITOCHU ENEX Group believes that ensuring that its employees maintain good physical and mental health can drive its social contribution as the best partner for life and society, which is the group's management philosophy. We engage in health and productivity management as an important business challenge under the workstyle reform "ENEX EARLY BIRD."
The Chief Operating Officer of Corporate Administration Division Ⅱ and the General Manager of Human Resources & General Affairs Department are responsible for promoting good health. The related departments and the persons in charge work together to operate the PDCA cycle for health and productivity management with the following framework.

At a monthly Health Committee meeting at head office chaired by the General Manager of Human Resources & General Affairs Department, participants consult on and provide information with respect to improve employee health and create a safer and more hygienic environment. The committee proactively collaborates with the health insurance union and external organizations.
