Priorities
Sapporo Group Logistics aims to be a company where each employee can work lively and healthily, both physically and mentally, as stated in the Declaration of Health and Wellness Creation. To this end, the company has set employee work engagement (target value: 50) and presenteeism (target value: 35%) as mid-term goals to be achieved by 2027.
As key priorities for physical health, the company is working to achieve a 100% rate of follow-up examinations (at emergency medical facilities) following regular health checkups, and a 100% rate of lifestyle-related disease screenings for individuals aged 40 and older. To drive these activities forward, Sapporo Group Logistics has established Health Ambassadors to promote health initiatives. Health Ambassadors also contribute to increasing employee participation in health initiatives by planning and executing various health-related events. As a concrete result, the participation rate in lifestyle-related disease screenings reached 87% in 2025, exceeding the group average, and interest in health is gradually increasing. The company also conducts activities to promote exercise habits, such as walking campaigns (participation rate: 67% in fall of 2025) and lifestyle habit challenges (participation rate: 87% in 2025). However, the rates of individuals with abnormalities in blood pressure and blood glucose levels remain high. Sapporo Group Logistics will continue its efforts with the goal of improving these figures through better health habits.
Sapporo Group Logistics recognizes the challenges regarding mental health. In recent years, the logistics environment has undergone significant changes due to shifts in social structures and the impact of various institutional reforms. Companies categorized within the logistics sector, such as Sapporo Group Logistics, are required to implement various operational improvements and transformations to 'maintain and establish a sustainable logistics system' in response to changes in the logistics environment. Stress levels among employees in the sector have been on the rise.
As a key priority for mental health, Sapporo Group Logistics has been working to promote the use of paid leave with the goal of improving work-life balance.
Going forward, the company will further create opportunities for communication among employees and foster a culture of appreciation for one another, thereby establishing a workplace environment with high psychological safety. This will help reduce stress and enhance the mental well-being of each individual.
Sapporo Group Logistics promotes a culture of health by implementing various physical and mental wellness activities to achieve its mid-term goals. In 2025, 73% of employees are aware of company-provided health support, indicating that the company’s health management is becoming increasingly recognized among employees.
