In addition to providing regular health checkups for all of its employees, both in Japan and overseas, the ENEOS Group¹ provides support for preventing lifestyle-related diseases and is also working to increase the cancer screening rate² and prevent infectious diseases³. For employees assigned overseas and traveling for business, we offer vaccinations against epidemics and infectious diseases, in addition to building medical support systems. In accordance with the purpose of Japan’s Health Promotion Act, we are working to thoroughly eliminate the risks from passive smoking.
In fiscal 2022, we maintained a 100% participation rate in the regular health checkups. While the cancer screening rate of 69.8% fell slightly short of the annual target of 70%, it improved by 3.4 percentage points over the previous fiscal year. We continue to encourage employees to undergo medical examinations with the aim of further increasing the examination rate. Furthermore, for employees diagnosed with medical issues, we ensure follow-up care through efforts such as encouraging these employees to undergo further testing as needed.

To help prevent mental health issues, the Group makes effective use of a stress check system.
The system improves employee awareness of stress. For individual follow-up for those facing high levels of stress, we offer sessions with occupational physicians. Additional measures include systems for counseling with external counselors.
We also conduct group analysis within the organization and provide training, advice and assistance for improvements in high-stress work environments.
In fiscal 2022, we continued to provide individual consultation and feedback for the stress check results of managers, and conduct follow-up as needed through training or individual consultations with external counselors and the subsequent development of action plan sheets.

To prevent illness in employees traveling and working overseas, the Group actively implements measures such as vaccinations for employees traveling to certain destinations as recommended on the website of Japan’s Ministry of Health, Labour, and Welfare’s Quarantine Information Office.
ENEOS has stockpiled supplies at its overseas sites, according to the same standards used at our sites in Japan, as a safety measure for infectious disease epidemics. Since fiscal 2021, we have conducted stress checks for employees working overseas as a first line of defense against mental health disorders and to encourage employees to be aware of their stress levels. Going forward, we will continue to conduct stress checks annually.
As a measure against malaria, JX Nippon Oil & Gas Exploration has formulated standards for travel to malaria-prone regions. The standards state that the company will bear the cost of anti-malaria medication for employees traveling overseas under certain conditions, and take appropriate measures if an employee is infected. Additionally, in order to prevent physical and mental health issues caused by overwork of employees working overseas, employees whose monthly overtime hours exceed a certain threshold are required to submit a self-check sheet, and are then interviewed by an industrial physician or undergo a telephone health consultation as necessary.
JX Metals centrally manages the health information of expatriates through a health management support system, and actively encourages them to manage their health before, during, and after travel to their assigned destinations. Industrial physicians confirm the results of medical examinations and other information for accompanying family members before relocation, and support them so that they can continue to receive medical care in local areas as necessary.
