Health Promotion Initiatives

Basic Concepts

The Mizuno Group believes that ensuring the physical and mental well-being of each employee and helping them achieve work-life balance is essential to the companyʼs growth and the realization of its management philosophy.
To promote employee health, the President of Mizuno has issued a Health Management Declaration. Starting in fiscal year 2024, this declaration has been renewed to further advance initiatives that support employee well-being and enhance engagement.

Health Management Declaration (Full Text)

The Mizuno Group, guided by the belief that “a company is its people,” hereby declares its commitment to further enhancing an environment where employees proactively engage in health promotion, centered around the pursuit of the power and value of sports.
We believe that achieving well-being for employees around the world forms the foundation of our management, contributes to the realization of our corporate philosophy, and drives the growth of our business.
The Mizuno Group will continue striving to bring “A-mon” (best products for customers) to the world, powered by the realization of well-being for all stakeholders, including our employees.

Health Promotion Initiatives and External Evaluation

Mizuno, based on its declaration of health management, has set specific targets for four challenges: “Reducing the ratio of those at risk for lifestyle-related diseases,” “Early detection of serious diseases,” “Reduction in the number of employees taking leave for mental health,” and “Reduction in smoking rates.” We have embarked on various health promotion initiatives, focusing on the encouragement of sports and exercise.
These activities have been recognized, and we have been certified as an “Excellent Health Management Corporation 2025 (Large Corporation Division) (White 500)” and “Sports Yell Company 2025,” consecutively earning the “Silver” status in both categories.

Future Challenges

  • Support for Work-Life Balance
    Mizuno will continue to promote initiatives that support employees in balancing work with childcare, caregiving, and personal health issues. These efforts are not only aimed at preventing employee turnover but also at enhancing engagement.
  • Paid Leave
    While ensuring that all employees take at least five days of paid leave annually, Mizuno will further promote paid leave usage by fostering a workplace culture that encourages employees to take time off.
  • Occupational Safety and Health
    Mizunoʼs commitment to safety and health goes beyond legal compliance. We will review and strengthen our safety and health promotion framework to create a safer and more comfortable work environment. Risk management will also be integrated into our safety and health efforts, including a revision of our business continuity plan.
  • Health Management
    Mizuno will continue to improve its PDCA cycle for health promotion each year. In addition to encouraging exercise and sports, we will incorporate new perspectives such as dietary education, sleep, womenʼs unique health concerns, and health promotion for older employees, aiming to further maintain and enhance overall employee health.
