Goals and Initiatives
The Chugai Group has established health and productivity management goals to continuously promote health and safety initiatives from a medium-to-long-term perspective.
Mid-term Health and Productivity Management Goals 2030
While promoting health and safety activities under the Environment, Health and Safety (EHS management) system in line with our basic approach, we identified and evaluated issues and established six high-priority items in the area of health and productivity management: cancer; lifestyle-related diseases; mental health; health literacy; workplace safety; and organizational climate. We have set medium to long-term goals in each of these areas and are conducting activities to achieve them by 2030, the final year of the goals.

* Initiatives to Improve Follow-up Examination Participation for Cancer Screening: Started in 2022 as an initiative to directly approach employees who were advised to undergo follow-up examinations after cancer screening. In addition to encouraging employees to seek medical attention, consultations with nurses with clinical experience in cancer care are available upon request, helping employees approach follow-up examinations with confidence and take appropriate medical action.
