Together with our employees

Ocean Trading considers the health of its employees as an utmost important asset for sustainable growth. In December 2020, Ocean Trading declared the "Healthy Workplace" policy to start its efforts to further improve and support the health of its employees. In March 2022, we became certified as the "health and productivity management," which is a certification system The Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry (METI) is promoting whereby it considers employees' health and productivity management from a business-management perspective to be one of the efforts toward achieving a healthy, long-lived society, and strategically implements initiatives that lead to maintenance and promotion of health. We will support the health management of our employees and aim to obtain the certification of Excellent Health Management.

Over the past five years, 100% of our female employees have taken maternity or childcare leave, and 62.5% have returned to work. The average length of maternity and childcare leave taken is 11.5 months (as of April 2021).
In addition, we are planning to introduce a shorter working hour system than the legally mandated standard. We will promote dissemination and provision of the system to gain understanding from not only the employees who will implement the new system but to all the other employees.
We are currently improving the environment to obtain the Kurumin Mark certification, a system in which the Minister of Health, Labor and Welfare certifies companies that support the balance between work and child-rearing.
