Health and Productivity Management Excellence Corporation 2021 (Large Corporation Category (White 500))

ITOKI considers the physical and mental health of its employees to be an important management issue, and in order to further promote strategic health management, it established the Health Management Declaration in February 2017. In order to further accelerate activities related to employee health, we established the Health Management Promotion Committee, a cross-organizational organization comprised of in-house departments in charge of health. We continue to carry out various activities and initiatives to help employees work in a healthier manner.

Additionally, in XORK 2019, the new headquarters office “ITOKI TOKYO XORK WELL Building Standard™* Gold (interior) certification has been obtained. Through a tour of our working showroom, XORK, we are working to promote the health of society as a whole by informing customers about ITOKI's initiatives and the effectiveness and importance of our health initiatives.

Currently, we have renovated XORK into an office that is compatible with with-corona and after-corona, and are proposing to customers about new workplaces in the post-corona era.

Having received the 2021 Health and Productivity Management Organization Certification (White 500) for the fifth consecutive year, we will continue to further improve the health of each employee, and at the same time, as a health-promoting company, we will provide workplaces where customers can work in a healthy manner. We aim to create a society where workers can work in a healthy manner.

What is WELL Building Standard™?

WELL Building Standard™ is the world's first building and indoor environment that focuses on the health and comfort of people living and working in buildings, created based on seven years of rigorous research and development by the International WELL Building Institute. It's a rating system. As a standard for objectively evaluating buildings that are comfortable, safe, and healthy for people, a major feature is that they are verified not only from an environmental engineering perspective but also from a medical perspective.
