working to create a workplace where all employees can feel comfortable, and
we are also taking steps to review daily manners and rules.

We're creating a more comfortable work environment by having everyone be mindful of small things , such as how to use shared spaces, keeping equipment storage areas tidy , and paying attention to smoking etiquette, such as placing deodorizing spray at the office entrance

We also provide information on internal and external consultation services , promoting the creation of an environment where everyone can work with peace of mind.

Strengthening heatstroke prevention measures (in response to mandatory measures)

We have established a system to prepare for the mandatory implementation of heatstroke prevention measures and emergency response procedures in companies , which will become mandatory from June 2025. (For more information on the mandatory implementation, please click here) •Workplace Heatstroke Prevention Measures | Osaka Labor Bureau •Ministerial Ordinance Amending Part of the Industrial Safety and Health Regulations (Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare Ordinance No. 57 of 2025)

We have taken measures such as installing thermometers, designating rest areas, and keeping supplies readily available.
Furthermore,we have created manuals to prepare for heatstroke and sudden illness,
outlining specific procedures to ensure a swift and accurate response. We have
a system in place to handle any emergency with peace of mind.

Strengthening disaster prevention measures

In preparation for disasters, we previously only kept disaster prevention goods and emergency supplies at our Osaka office, but we are now gradually expanding our stock to other locations as well.

Examples of purchased items:
• Emergency kit for returning home
• Portable toilet
• Instant rice

Additionally, as an earthquake-resistant measure, we installed fasteners on shoe racks and bookshelves.
Taking precautions in everyday lifeleads to peace of mind when an emergency occurs.
