ITOKI CORPORATION (Head office: Joto-ku, Osaka City, President: Yoshiro Hirai, hereinafter referred to as "ITOKI") has been recognized for the second consecutive year as one of the "2018 Health and Productivity Management Excellent Corporations (White 500)" jointly selected by the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry and the Nippon Kenko Kaigi.

This is a system jointly established by the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry and the Nippon Kenko Kaigi, which aims to certify 500 large corporations that work in cooperation with insurers to practice excellent health management as "Health and Productivity Management Excellent Corporations (White 500)" by 2020.

Recognizing the physical and mental health of its employees as an important management issue, Itoki established a new "Health and Productivity Management Declaration" in February 2017 to further promote strategic health and productivity management, and simultaneously launched a Health and Productivity Management Promotion Committee chaired by the company's top executive.

We are accelerating our efforts to systematize the various employee health initiatives and activities that have been promoted primarily by the company and health insurance association, and to position health and productivity management as one of our strengths.
