Recognition as “2026 Outstanding Organizations of KENKO Investment for Health” for Fifth Year in a Row

On March 9, GIKEN LTD. and its group company GIKEN SEKO CO., LTD. were certified as companies implementing excellent KENKO Investment for Health, and were recognised as “2026 Outstanding Organisations of KENKO Investment for Health”^*1. This recognition programme is jointly administered annually by the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry (METI) of Japan and the Nippon Kenko Kaigi. GIKEN has been recognised for the fifth consecutive year, while GIKEN SEKO has received this recognition for the fourth consecutive year. In addition, GIKEN SEKO was selected for the “Next Bright 1000” for the second year in a row^*2.

Our group has established its own "Declaration of KENKO Investment for Health" and "Philosophy of KENKO Investment for Health". We are working to promote employee health maintenance and work-life balance under a promotion system supervised by top management. Last year, we further enhanced our internal health management initiatives, including the promotion of cancer prevention measures, by actively listening to the voices of our officers and employees through surveys and interviews. At the same time, we strengthened collaboration with community-based health events and related activities.

The physical and mental health of employees is the foundation of corporate management, individual performance, and above all, the happiness of every employee. We will continue to create an environment in which employees can work in good health, including reviewing internal systems in line with recent trends and changing needs.
