In order to realize the Yaskawa principles, we established the “Safety Declaration” in 2015 and revised it into the “Health and Safety Declaration” in 2019, which incorporates work style reform initiatives, to promote employee health.
At the start of fiscal 2023, we positioned the revitalization of human capital as an important measure from the viewpoint of sustainable management, and widely declared it as the “Health Management Declaration” internally and externally to accelerate the promotion of health management.
In order to realize Yaskawa Principles, “contributing to the development of society and the welfare of mankind through the execution of its business,” the Yaskawa group aims to maintain healthy, safe, positive and rewarding workplace by supporting the development of health as a base for the job satisfaction of each employee.
