From the health of each individual employee to the health of society, we are further accelerating our efforts and have been certified as a "Certified Health & Productivity Management Outstanding Organization 2023 (White 500)".

Our commitment to employee health, a value we've cherished since our founding.

Since our founding, we have delivered products and services related to beauty and health to people around the world. Currently, under ROHTO Group Comprehensive Management Vision 2030, "Connect for Well-being," we are expanding our business into the fields of food and Regenerative medicine. As a company that has long been engaged in "health," we have undertaken various initiatives over the years to ensure that each and every employee who supports our foundation is healthy in both mind and body and can approach their daily work with passion (job satisfaction and a sense of purpose). In recent years, in 2014 we appointed Japan's first "Chief health and productivity management Officer (CHO)," and in 2016 we established Health Management Promotion Group within the Human Resources and General Affairs Department. Since then, while promoting various initiatives, in 2018 we formulated our company's philosophy of health and productivity management as the "Health and Productivity Management Declaration." Currently, we are focusing on "creating opportunities" for employees to maintain their own health.

Examples of past initiatives

At our company, we aim to empower our employees to take initiative in managing their own health. We create opportunities for them to learn about their own health and physical condition, and to put healthy practices into action and make them a habit. While our focus is on health, it also plays a role in promoting connections and communication among employees, contributing to improved quality and speed of work.

Efforts to learn about your own health and body

• Implementation of physical fitness tests for all employees (2002-present)
• We conduct quizzes and health drills to improve health literacy (since 2016).
• Implementation of sleep checks and improvement programs for all employees to understand their own sleep patterns (2022 onwards)

Efforts to put into practice and make it a habit

• Company-wide sports day held (around 1980)
• Subsidies for ongoing health guidance and smoking cessation treatment costs aimed at reducing smoking rates (2018-present)
• Introduction of "ARUCO an in-house health currency (2019-present)

What is "ARUCO?

This system awards employees a unique internal currency (health coins) based on their daily step count, brisk walking time, participation in sports, and achievement of smoking cessation, among other healthy lifestyle habits. Earned coins can be exchanged for health-related goods or used for ARUCO crowdfunding as part of "Asuniwa project" an initiative support for entrepreneurs within the company.

Future Plans

Recognizing that health is the foundation for achieving well-being, we have established eight health indicators that look ahead to present, future, and next-generation health. By setting concrete goals, we aim to empower each employee to review their daily lives and take initiative.
Furthermore, starting in April 2022, we established the "ROHTO GROUP Health Insurance Society" to extend health and productivity management we have been promoting to our group companies and employees' families. We will further strengthen our efforts to foster a sense of unity and implement health measures that will lead to organizational revitalization by facilitating smooth communication. In addition, as part of our challenge to extend healthy life expectancy, we will further promote the development of our business that provides beauty and health to the world.

About the Certified Certified Health & Productivity Management Outstanding Organization System

The Certified Certified Health & Productivity Management Outstanding Organization System is a system that recognizes corporations, including large and small businesses, that are particularly outstanding in practicing health and productivity management, based on initiatives tailored to local health challenges and health promotion initiatives promoted by the Japan Health Conference. By making outstanding corporations that are committed to health and productivity management "visible," the system aims to create an environment in which they can be socially recognized by employees, job seekers, related companies, and financial institutions as "corporations that consider employee health management from a management perspective and are strategically addressing it."
