Goals and Initiatives
The Chugai Group has set health and productivity management goals to continuously promote health and safety activities 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.

* Measures to Receive Re-Examination for Cancer: Started in 2022 as an initiative to directly approach employees who have been assessed as requiring re-examination in cancer screening. In addition to advising patients to seek medical attention, interview with a nurse with clinical experience in cancer should be held upon request to establish an environment that enables patients to face medical attention positively (2023 investment: ¥4 million/year)
