Health and Safety Management
Basic Policy regarding Health and Safety Management
MIRARTH HOLDINGS The Group actively supports employee safety and health maintenance and promotion, working to create a workplace environment where diverse talent can work vibrantly. Additionally, as part of this promotion system, we have established a "Hygiene Committee" to thoroughly manage employee safety and hygiene.
Health Committee
Depending on the size of the workforce, our six group companies are working to create a workplace environment where all employees can work with peace of mind, primarily through the health and safety committees established under Article 18 of the Industrial Safety and Health Act.
At Takara Leben, at regular meetings of the Health Committee, we identify "traffic accidents," "occupational accidents," and "overtime work" as significant risks threatening employee safety and health in the workplace, and conduct investigations, reports, and discussions aimed at solving these problems.
Committee members representing different workplaces have raised specific issues in workplace environments and habits that hinder reducing overtime and promoting leave taking, and measures to improve these are discussed and implemented sequentially with management.
Safe Driving Courses
Takara Leben conducts safe driving training during new employee training and for employees involved in traffic accidents during the relevant fiscal year, aiming to raise employees' safety awareness and prevent accidents. We communicate that striving to prevent accidents is a corporate social responsibility and part of our corporate activities, introduce past accident trends, and conduct group work as part of hazard prediction training to prevent accidents.

Efforts to Reduce Working Hours
In light of the work style reform-related legislation that has been implemented sequentially since April 2019, our group is promoting employee health and "efficient work styles that are mindful of time."
To promote workplaces that do not involve long working hours, we visualize and thoroughly manage actual work conditions. We thoroughly implement the principle of "no more than 45 hours per month in principle, and up to 60 hours only six times a year," and are considering visualizing actual work conditions and reflecting them in personnel evaluations, aiming to build a more appropriate labor management system.
MIRARTH HOLDINGS and Takara Leben will review the operation of the existing "PC Usage Management System" starting in fiscal 2025, revamping the system to monitor and confirm discrepancies between PC usage logs and attendance clock-ins. This enables managers to better understand overtime hours that reflect actual conditions and creates an environment that raises awareness of well-structured organizational management. For employees who have worked long hours, we provide "interview guidance by doctors" and "understanding working hours," sharing information with the Health Committee and occupational physicians to prevent health damage and occupational accidents.
Mental Health
At our company and Takara Leben, we conduct stress checks once a year to encourage employees to become aware of their own stress and enable early detection and response to mental health issues. For employees who undergo stress checks, learning content is provided that can be used to improve mental health and self-care based on the results. The results of implementation are shared at management meetings with thorough protection of personal information. Furthermore, feedback is provided to each division manager to clarify organizational challenges, contributing to improvements in the workplace environment and organizational improvement.
Additionally, starting September 2025, we introduced a health management system, creating an environment where employees can check their stress check results and health checkup results at any time.
Furthermore, centralized management of health data accelerates information sharing with occupational physicians, enabling early approaches to signs of discomfort and strengthening follow-up systems based on more specialized perspectives. By deepening the use of data, we will further and more strongly promote the health of all employees.
Introduction of "Kinniku Shokudo Office" Corporate Meal Service
Takara Leben has introduced "Kinniku Shokudo Office" at some branches and model rooms in order to support the physical and mental well-being of employees while promoting engagement and advancing health-oriented management.
This is a corporate meal service that offers high-protein, low-calorie frozen dishes, each carefully handcrafted by restaurant chefs based on menus designed with nutritional balance in mind by registered dietitians. With just a quick heat in the microwave, employees can easily enjoy nutritious meals, making it possible to maintain a healthy diet even during busy workdays without difficulty. The menu includes over 100 options and offers flexible choices suited to a wide range of preferences, from breakfast to snacks. After a trial period from May through the end of September 2024, during which employee feedback and operational conditions were assessed, the service was officially introduced in January 2025.
Going forward, we will continue to work on improving the working environment and raising employee health awareness, aiming to enhance the performance of each individual and create a sustainable workplace.
