The health and safety of our employees are fundamental to our business. Consequently, our highest priority is to promote health and productivity management to enhance corporate value. We are implementing various initiatives to maintain and improve both the mental and physical health of our employees, as well as to enhance the working environment.

We collect, compile, and disclose a variety of human resources data for NYK as well as its domestic and overseas consolidated subsidiaries.
