Mitsubishi Materials Corporation ("MMC") has been certified as a Sports Yell Company by the Japan Sports Agency, for the third consecutive year, as a company that actively promotes the health of its employees through sports.

The Sports Yell Company program was established by the Japan Sports Agency with the aim of improving the rate of business people taking part in sports, as well as enhancing the social reputation of companies that consider and strategically address employee health management.

MMC regards the health management of our employees as a vital management issue and has been promoting company-wide initiatives by establishing the Mitsubishi Materials Group Health and Productivity Management Declaration in 2020 and developing a health management promotion system headed by the Chief Executive Officer. Based on company-wide activity policies and plans, we aim to increase our corporate value by implementing activities at each site to maintain and improve the health of employees and by creating workplaces where employees can work in good health and with enthusiasm.

Starting in the fiscal year ended March 2023, walking events using health apps were held with the aim of maintaining and improving employee health, establishing exercise habits, and fostering communication. Although participation rates were low at the start, the number of employees participating has increased with each event. In addition, in October 2024, MMC used a program for companies certified as "Tokyo Sports Promotion Companies" to hold a lecture by a top athlete. This initiative not only provides opportunities for exercise but also aims to enhance health literacy.

MMC will continue to actively work toward establishing healthy lifestyles for our employees and their families by promoting health and productivity management activities and providing opportunities for sports activities.
