Commitment description
Kao Corporation will contribute the reduction of premature deaths by non-communicable diseases using the findings from its own research activities in nutrition.
As part of that, by 2025, we will provide the following workplace nutrition improvement programs to workplaces that cover 200,000 people annually (including 50,000 Kao-group employees and family members and 150,000 others) and promote Health and Productivity Management and Workplace Nutrition.
(1) Consulting on Health and Productivity Management
(2) Health checks related to nutrition (visceral fat measurement, etc.
(3) Assessment of lifestyle habit
(4) Education or guidance of healthy eating; "Smart WASHOKU"*
(5) Healthy meals at work; "Smart WASHOKU"* meals
* "Smart WASHOKU" is a healthy eating method to prevent visceral fat accumulation by improving the quality of meals rather than the amount of meals.
Through this activity, Kao Corporation will provide opportunities for small and medium-sized enterprises and their employees, who have less capability on their own to implement Health and Productivity Management and Workforce Nutrition, to improve health and nutrition.
Kao Corporation will join the Workforce Nutrition Alliance and play a leading role by 2025, to share its findings, methods and experiences with the workplaces worldwide.
