Basic Policy on Health Management

In line with our management philosophy of “creating attractive products” and “contributing to society through our business,” we consider the health of our employees and their healthy working conditions to be an important management issue. The definition of “health management” is as follows.


“Health management” refers to the strategic implementation of health management for employees from a managerial perspective. (Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry) Corporate organizations are made up of human beings, and the health of the people who work there is of paramount importance in conducting business. Umeda Kogyo’s basic policy for health management is to contribute to society by revitalizing the organization and improving productivity through the promotion of health management that actively supports the health of employees, and beyond.
