Basic Approach

Lion aims to contribute to the realization of a better life and society, and to continuously improve its corporate value. Each and every employee is responsible for achieving this goal, and we believe it is important to respect and continually improve each employee's knowledge, abilities, motivation, health, etc. Furthermore, we are undertaking various initiatives based on the belief that drawing out and maximizing the diverse human capital of individuals as an entire organization is essential for realizing the future that Lion aims for.

Message from the Officer Responsible for Health Management Promotion

Since its founding, Lion has pursued its purpose, “Make a difference in everyday lives by redesigning habits: ReDesign,” while steadily growing its business by promoting oral hygiene as well as cleanliness and hygiene habits that contribute to people’s mental and physical well-being.
As a company whose mission is to deliver mental and physical healthcare to people, we regard the health of our employees who carry out this mission as both an indispensable and vital foundation of our management and an important form of capital that drives corporate value creation.
Based on this principle, we established our Guidelines for Health in 2012, which recognize the health of our employees and their families as a key management issue and clearly state that each employee is responsible for managing their own health and making healthy behaviors a habit.
As a concrete initiative, we are promoting efforts to support employee health enhancement through our “GENKI” Action program. We have designated three key areas for focused investment—deepening health management, fostering habitual health behaviors, and improving health literacy—and are implementing related initiatives at each business site and organizational unit. We have also established concrete performance targets, including improved work engagement, reduced absenteeism, and the adoption of preventive dental care habits, as part of our ongoing efforts to foster healthy habits.
As the officer responsible for promoting health management, I am committed to advancing these initiatives and will strive to enhance organizational vitality through the health and well-being of our employees and their families.
