Unipres : Relationship with employees updated.

As a member of society, we proactively and continuously make social contributions to encourage the development of the local community. In addition, we respect the culture and customs of every nation and conduct business to contribute to their development.

■ Relationship with employees

Health and safety at work

Expansion of basic safety rules within the company
We have produced a pocket-sized booklet about basic safety rules and distributed it to all employees. We also conduct safety chants before inter-departmental meetings and conferences in order to enhance safety awareness.

First aid training

Under the idea that the more people we have that can administer emergency medical treatment in our company, the more lives of our colleagues we can save, we provide training sessions for CPR and AED (automated external defibrillator) use.
Employees with advanced life-saving certification also participated, learning about emergency medical treatment and giving advice to other participants.

Social dialogue

Family Plant Tour

The Family Plant Tour was held at the Fuji Office, Fuji Plant (Fujinomiya), Tochigi Plant (Oyama), Tochigi Plant(Moka) to allow children of working mothers and fathers to see their parents at work. The plant tour gave the children an opportunity to realize how tough it is to be a part of society and how hard their parents are working.
It was also a good opportunity for the children to gain understanding and appreciation for Unipres. It even increased the employees' morale, as they would like to make their plant more attractive and turn it into a source of pride for their family in the future.
