Mitsubishi Materials Corporation ("MMC") held a health promotion event as part of its health and productivity management activities called "Exercise for Physical Exercise" during National Occupational Health Week, inviting a world-class athlete as a lecturer to share her valuable experience of competing on the world stage. The event also provided an opportunity for employees to learn techniques for walking in order to prevent accidents such as falls and stumbles.

MMC views employee health management as a management issue and strategically promotes health management by establishing the Mitsubishi Materials Group Health Management Declaration in 2020, establishing a Health and Productivity Management Panel headed by the CEO, and formulating basic policies. MMC is actively engaged in a wide variety of health promotion initiatives, including hosting this health promotion event and organizing walking events and other activities.

Moving forward, under our Code of Conduct "We are committed to providing a safe and healthy environment for all our stakeholders," MMC aims to further raise the health awareness of every employee, and work to enhance the MMC Group's corporate value by creating an active and pleasant workplace and health and productivity management measures.
