Salad Club Achieves Recognition as a Health Management Entity for Three Consecutive Years

Salad Club, a prominent player in Japan's food industry, has once again earned the prestigious designation of "Health Management Excellence Corporation 2026" from the Japan Health Conference. This marks the third consecutive year the company has received this recognition in the medium-sized business category, highlighting their commitment to health and wellness within their organization.

The Health Management Excellence Corporation certification program aims to showcase organizations that excel in health management practices, enabling them to receive social recognition from employees, job seekers, related companies, and financial institutions. Established in 2016, this commendation system serves as a platform for companies to increase visibility in their health initiatives.

As a company dedicated to providing fresh vegetables, Salad Club places significant importance on the health of its employees and customers. Their management philosophy emphasizes the health of the body, mind, and lifestyle of both employees and clients. Salad Club enhances its health management initiatives by sharing information with group companies. Continuing its health promotion activities, an impressive 88% of employees participated in health-up campaigns last year, surpassing previous participation rates. Furthermore, the company has achieved a remarkable 100% rate for both male and female employees in taking parental leave.

In this year, Salad Club has focused on improving cancer screening rates through numerous initiatives. They have implemented a system that allows employees to take short periods of leave designated for cancer screening. Additionally, the introduction of screening vehicles means that employees can attend screenings even during work hours. Collaborative efforts with Kewpie's health management office have resulted in enhanced screening promotion measures, including leveraging health applications to facilitate participation. These vigorous efforts have contributed to the recognition as a Health Management Excellence Corporation.
