Mitsubishi Materials Corporation has received its first award as an "Outstanding Company for Cancer Control Promotion" under the "Cancer Control Promotion Company Action"(*) initiative promoted by the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare for the fiscal year ending March 2025.

At our company, we recognize that maintaining and promoting employee health is essential for sustainable growth. Since the establishment of the "Mitsubishi Materials Group Health and Productivity Management Declaration" in October 2020, we have established a health and productivity management promotion system with the CEO as the head. In cooperation with the Mitsubishi Materials Health Insurance Society, we have been strategically promoting health and productivity management as a key management issue.

In this context, with the aim of early detection by increasing the rate of cancer screening, we are taking various measures, such as creating an environment where cancer screenings (lung cancer, stomach cancer, colorectal cancer, prostate cancer, etc.) can be conducted simultaneously with regular health checkups, as well as steps to increase the attendance rate for gynecological checkups and dependent health checkups, improving health literacy through education, and supporting the balance between treatment and work.

Going forward, we will continue to actively engage in health and productivity management activities aimed at maintaining and improving the health of employees, including promoting cancer prevention.
