Punch Industry's Commitment to Employee Well-being
Recently, Punch Industry garnered significant recognition by being awarded the "Health Management Excellent Corporation 2026" in the large business category, a commendation from Japan's Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry. This marks the second consecutive year the company has received this prestigious award, highlighting its unwavering dedication to promoting the health and wellness of its employees.
The Health Management Excellent Corporation certification is a program co-hosted by the Ministry of Economy and the Japan Health Conference. It evaluates and acknowledges companies that strategically focus on employee health as a crucial component of their business management. Punch Industry first received this recognition in 2025 and has since continued to enhance its health and wellness initiatives.
Focus on Health Management
Punch Industry firmly believes that employee health is the bedrock of its business strategy. In 2024, the company established a Health Management Declaration and Policy, emphasizing the importance of maintaining a healthy workforce. By fostering a workplace that promotes well-being and ease of working, Punch Industry aims to combat lifestyle-related diseases while advocating for mental health and women's health initiatives.
As expressed by Tetsuji Morikubo, the President and CEO, "The greatest asset of Punch Industry is its people. Ensuring the health of every employee and their families is vital to unleashing their full potential. We are committed to creating an optimal work-life balance and an environment where employees can thrive both mentally and physically."
Initiatives to Promote Health
To support employee health, Punch Industry organizes various wellness programs, such as health seminars for its staff. These sessions, held on an ad-hoc basis, focus on themes like "back pain" and "gut health," featuring presentations from public health nurses associated with preventive medicine. Employees are taught simple stretching exercises and other easy-to-integrate healthy habits.
Furthermore, Punch Industry is proactive about smoking cessation initiatives. Aligning with the World Health Organization’s observance of World No Tobacco Day on May 31, the company has declared this date as “Punch Group No Smoking Day.” This initiative includes all eight countries where Punch operates, promoting anti-smoking campaigns globally. Unique strategies, such as the placement of tobacco in locked cases and informative posters, have been implemented by several group companies to foster a smoke-free workplace.
