Furukawa Electric Group establishes policies and issues as the “Health Management Guidelines” every year, which focus on health management including work environment management and work management. We encourage the Group companies and each Furukawa Electric works to promote health management activities.

Promote mental and physical health by activating the Group’s health management activities
We have worked for many years to raise the level of safety and health under the principle of "Safety First”. For health activities in particular, we have been appointed a dedicated occupational physician who oversees the health activities since 1957 and we have since actively promoted our efforts based on a team system centered on the occupational physicians and nurses. Recognizing that the "promotion of employees’ mental and physical health" is an important health issue, we have been promoting Health and Productivity Management company-wide since 2017 in order to further advance the health activities we have been working on as part of our safety and health management activities. We selected the following five items as elements that enable employees to face work in good mental and physical conditions: "health literacy, mental health, smoking, physical function, and metabolic syndrome". We promote the Furukawa Electric style of Health and Productivity Management company-wide by continually approaching the five items throughout the year.
In addition, in order to promote the development of Health and Productivity Management not only within the Company but also within the Group companies in Japan, we changed the name of the “Health Meeting ,” which had been held for many years, to the “Furukawa Electric Group Health and Productivity Management Meeting” in 2020.
Our Group also holds "Partners' Meetings" where our key partners* assemble. We held a lecture on the theme of Health and Productivity Management by the supervising occupational physician in FY 2023.
* The group calls our business partners as "partners" who co-create value.
