Sanwa Group believes that the continuous ability of employees to work energetically while maintaining both physical and mental health, and delivering their best performance, is essential for the company's growth. In May 2025, we announced our "Medium-term Management Plan 2027" which includes "Creating safe and healthy workplace and promoting wellbeing" as one of the key pillars of the Sanwa Group Human capital strategies, positioning health management as a critical priority. By continuously implementing various initiatives, we strive to create an environment where every employee can work with peace of mind, maintaining sound physical and mental health.

In the Sanwa Group, the director responsible for the Corporate Planning Unit of Sanwa Holdings Corporation is leading the efforts of the Corporate Communication Department of Sanwa Holdings Corporation, Human Resource & General Affairs Department of Sanwa Shutter Corporation and Health Insurance Association of Sanwa Holdings Corporation to build an effective promotion framework and provide support for the maintenance and improvement of Group employees' health.

As part of our commitment to health management, Sanwa Group has set clear KPI targets and continues to take a variety of initiatives to achieve them. Since we reached our FY2030 target of rate of taking annual paid leaves(55%) as early as FY2024, we have raised the target in our "Medium-term Management Plan 2027.

Initiatives toward global health issues

The Sanwa Group provides employees traveling overseas on business or assigned to work overseas, as well as their accompanying family members, with vaccinations prior to their departure recommended for each location by the Quarantine Information Office of the Ministry of Health, Labor, and Welfare. Through pre-departure training, we educate these employees about global health issues, such as HIV, tuberculosis, and malaria.

At the overseas business sites of the Sanwa Group, we have stockpiled supplies as a safety measure against novel influenza pandemics. At business sites located in areas with malaria, we pay the costs for preventive anti-malarial medicine for employees traveling overseas on business or assigned to work overseas as well as their accompanying family members. We also have rules in place on how to respond in case of an infection. In this way, we are implementing health measures for employees and their families.

Health Checkups

The Sanwa Holdings Corporation Health Insurance Association assists with the cost of complete medical checkups, screenings for lifestyle diseases (after age 30), dental health guidance, and flu vaccines in order to prevent illness and facilitate the early discovery and treatment of disease.
We have established a health management system where employees and their family members can work safely and healthily overseas. Employees assigned to work overseas and their accompanying family members receive health exams before leaving, after returning home, and annually during their assignment. To detect cancer, the number one cause of death for Japanese nationals, Sanwa Shutter Corporation participates in the "Cancer Countermeasure Promotion Company Action" and distributes handbooks to every department recommending cancer screenings. In this way, we are raising awareness of cancer and encouraging employees to undergo screenings.
