MARUI GROUP seeks to co-create customer happiness through its business activities, which merge retailing and finance. We understand that providing employees with a safe and hygienic workplace environment is essential to supporting the growth of all employees and is instrumental to invigorating the entire organization and driving the improvement of corporate value.

1. Development of a Workplace Environment that Prioritizes Health and Safety

Realizing that the health and safety of employees is crucial to their growth, all workplaces will foster awareness and heighten understanding regarding occupational health and safety, prioritizing the development of an environment in which employees can feel safe and secure and maintain good mental and physical health as they work.
2. Promotion of Voluntary Occupational Health and Safety Initiatives

Occupational health and safety targets are set at all Group companies and workplaces based on MARUI GROUP's occupational health and safety plans in order to promote voluntary occupational health and safety initiatives. These targets are periodically revised to pursue higher levels of health and safety on a Groupwide basis.
3. Compliance with Occupational Health and Safety Laws

We comply with Japan's Industrial Safety and Health Act and other labor-related legislation as well as with the internal rules regarding occupational health and safety in place at all Group companies and workplaces.
4. Realization of Safe and Low-Risk Workplace Environments

5. Facilitation of Employee Health Improvement

MARUI GROUP understands that the health of employees is crucial to their growth. We therefore practice healthcare management aimed at preventing mental health issues and lifestyle diseases as well as enabling all employees to feel more energized in their work.
6. Cultivation of a Corporate Culture Emphasizing Occupational Health and Safety

We will cultivate a corporate culture emphasizing occupational health and safety by conducting proactive employee education and awareness-raising programs related to these topics. All Group officers and employees are expected to observe the MARUI GROUP Occupational Health and Safety Policy, and we ask that business partners and other external stakeholders endorse this policy while also making this policy publicly available.

Occupational Health and Safety Management System

Healthcare Management Promotion System

MARUI GROUP practices healthcare management to prevent mental health issues and lifestyle diseases in employees, limit exposure to secondhand smoke, reduce overtime, and raise employee health awareness. Healthcare management initiatives are spearheaded by MARUI GROUP's Personnel Division and Wellbeing Promotion Department and are coordinated with the Company's health insurance union.

Consultation Venues

Company physicians and occupational health staff are positioned in MARUI GROUP's Wellbeing Promotion Department on a full-time basis to provide employees with a venue for consulting on mental health and other health issues and for receiving support in combating lifestyle diseases. In addition, we have established the HANASOU hotline through collaboration with a specialized external organization. This hotline allows employees to receive support through face-to-face consultation, the internet, email, and various other venues.
