To maintain and improve the health of employees, information compiled from health-related data owned by Sumitomo Bakelite Health Insurance Union is used for the following initiatives through collaboration and coordination with related organizations like Sumitomo Bakelite Health Insurance Association.

With regard to mental health, for which detection at an early stage is deemed important, mental health education is provided mainly for managers and foremen, and proves useful in the acquisition and enhancement of their knowledge. The ratio of employees who wish to undergo an annual stress check is 86%, and consultations with physicians can be arranged for employees who wish to discuss further required actions based on the results of their check.
For employees suffering from mental health issues, measures are also put in place in line with a support program designed to help them return to work and to prevent relapses, with the aim of achieving the target of 100% follow-ups by healthcare staff. To assist employees with returning to work, employees coordinate efforts with healthcare staff like their superiors, people in charge of labor affairs, and industrial physicians, to ensure a smooth return to work and the prevention of relapses.
