As a company that promotes health, the Well-being of our workers is an essential theme for Yakult.
Here we introduce various initiatives run by the Health-focused Management Promotion Section and Yakult Health Insurance Association.
Our efforts to achieve the SDGs
Health-focused Management* is the strategic practice of employee health management by the company from an operational perspective.
As a company that champions health, Yakult Honsha considers the mental and physical Well-being of workers as the foundation of its operations, and is actively engaged in furthering their health. We recognize that improving workers' health and their health awareness boosts their productivity, creativity and dynamism, in turn leading to continuous, stable business development and an enhanced company image. In 2017 we released our Statement on Health, and in April 2020 established a Health-focused Management Promotion Section inside the Human Resources Department to further develop activities.

I eat three solid meals per day, keep to a routine, and try to avoid bottling up stress.
I aim to take 10,000 steps each day, often by getting off the train one station early and walking to my destination.
To provide a more supportive environment for workers who feel mentally or physically unwell, when the Yakult Honsha office moved to a new location in April 2020 we improved the Health Management Office by adding individual consultation rooms, an industrial physician’s office, and resting rooms for staff when they feel ill.
In the Yakult Group Supplier CSR Guidelines section on occupational safety and health management, we request that suppliers provide working environments that are safe, hygienic, and healthy.
