Employees' Health and Safety

Relevant SDGs


Vision
Strategy
Basic Approach
The Nikon Group aims to ensure the health and safety of our employees, the foundation of our corporate activities, to lead to better employee productivity. To do so, we must give priority to creating comfortable work environments offering health and safety to all people working for the Nikon Group, including employees of temporary agencies and contractors. This idea is also an essential element of the Nikon Group's three pillars of human capital management: acquire talent, develop talent, and leverage talent.
Nikon Group Health and Safety Policy
The Nikon Group Health and Safety Policy includes the Health and Safety Declaration, which advocates the above basic approach and sets three major issues. Besides this policy, Nikon decides on Health and Safety Activities for each fiscal year, which include success criteria for each major issue and examples of specific measures to be taken.

Aiming to Achieve Vision 2030
Health and Safety Declaration
We will create workplaces where all employees who work in the Nikon Group can feel safe in the knowledge that their health, safety, and general enriched spirit are a priority for the respective companies. With that knowledge, each and every employee will perform their duties willingly and enthusiastically to help the Nikon Group achieve its goal of becoming a key technology solutions company in a global society where humans and machines co-create seamlessly.
Major Issues
- 1.Maintaining and promoting good health of the employees (increasing
health literacy)
Employees will be aware of the importance of good physical and mental health, and will take an active role in checking, maintaining, and improving their health. - 2.Preventing occupational accidents through thorough legal
compliance and safety management
Under the respective health and safety management systems, we will carry out preventative measures, such as safety patrols, work risk assessments, safety education, and activities that develop employees' ability to sense and identify danger in the workplace. We will share Nikon Group safety activities and accident case studies from around the world and deploy recurrence prevention measures globally. - 3.Creating a vibrant work environment through dialogue (making
two-way communication easier and more comfortable for both parties)
We will create a pleasant and rewarding work environment through promoting mutual understanding, trust, and a sense of solidarity.
