Enhancing Employee Health at Pony Canyon

Pony Canyon, a comprehensive entertainment company based in Minato City, Tokyo, is taking significant steps to promote the health and well-being of its employees. With the goal of raising health awareness and fostering mental and physical wellness, the company has officially declared September as "Pony Canyon Wellness Month," and has introduced various initiatives that will take place throughout the month of September 2025.

Health Fest 2025

One of the major highlights of the Wellness Month is the much-anticipated "Pony Canyon Health Fest 2025." After receiving positive feedback in 2024, this year's event will build upon the previous program, integrating new health-check activities. The festival will now feature a total of 12 distinct programs, including:

• - Body Composition Analysis
• - Glycation Level Measurement
• - Grip Strength Check
• - Bone Density Measurement
• - Autonomic Nervous System Check
• - Posture Assessment

The program aims to engage a wide range of employees across generations, offering a comprehensive evaluation of health that goes beyond standard check-ups and screenings. Participants expressed their excitement with feedback such as, "I was happy to assess my health in a fun way," and "It would be great to have this event every year as it promotes company interaction."

Introduction of OFFICE DE YASAI

In addition to the Health Fest, Pony Canyon has officially introduced a new in-house service called "OFFICE DE YASAI," which aims to make it easier for employees to incorporate vegetables into their diets. This initiative is backed by seminars led by experts to support employees in improving their daily eating habits.

Health Seminars

The company is also aware of the unique health challenges faced by different genders. As a result, they will be hosting health seminars that consider sex-specific medical knowledge, empowering employees to develop personalized, health-conscious lifestyles.

Furthermore, a "Health Communication Exchange Meeting" has been scheduled, focusing on exchanging health information across various departments, fostering better employee relationships and communication.

Heat Stroke Prevention

As part of its commitment to health, Pony Canyon is emphasizing the importance of heat stroke prevention. The company is actively promoting measures for hydration, nutrition, and sleep to combat heat-related issues during the warmer months.

Achievements in 2025

Several initiatives have also been successfully introduced earlier in 2025:

• - Walk Fest: Using the "SUNTORY+" app, employees compete in average steps across departments, enhancing health awareness through walking challenges.
• - Work and Caregiving Balance Seminar: This seminar is focused on supporting employees in balancing their work and caregiving obligations.
• - Mental Health Seminar: A seminar addressing mental and physical health issues was also organized to pave the way for better well-being.

Upcoming Initiatives

Looking ahead, Pony Canyon will be launching the "Pink Ribbon Campaign" from October 1st to October 31st, in collaboration with companies like Dinos and Fuji TV. Initiatives during this campaign will include:
1. A hands-on breast self-examination model experience to promote early detection of breast cancer.
2. Distribution of leaflets advocating for breast cancer screening and the significance of early detection.
3. Sale of a pink tomato-banana smoothie, with a portion of the proceeds donated to the Japan Cancer Society.

Pony Canyon declared its commitment to health management in October 2022 and has been recognized as a 'Health Management Excellence Corporation (Large Corporation Division)' for three consecutive years since 2023. The company remains dedicated to supporting the health and well-being of its employees and all stakeholders.

The corporate philosophy of Pony Canyon states, "Connecting with people around the world through creativity that goes beyond imagination." This vision will be realized by continuing to foster a healthy workplace environment that contributes to vibrant communities and society.
