Employee engagement enhancement is one of the material issues for the Group's endeavors toward 2030 in the Long-Term Vision, Komori 2030. For Komori to continue enhancement of corporate value in a sustainable way, human resources are positioned as its most important "capital," and we believe initiatives for the enhancement of employee engagement is essential by realizing employee Kando, with the KOMORI-style Work-Style Reform that is challenging but rewarding positioned as the basis. We are working to strengthen human capital for the group overall, naming the KOMORI-style Work-Style Reform "K-Work," and implementing reforms in stages.
At Komori, the spread of COVID-19 became an opportunity to implement new work styles, such as working
remotely and staggered work hours, as well as promoting reforms in the office layout in order to create
new ideas and values through revitalized communication across divisions. We are working to expand flexible
work styles that are not bound by time and place.
Based on the idea that health management of each and every employee is important for employees to
sustainably reach their full potential in their performance, we are also undergoing initiatives
strategically with regard to health management aiming to maintain and improve the health of employees.
To achieve employee Kando, Komori is working on health management as it is essential for each and
every employee to be healthy both mentally and physically and to work with enthusiasm. Specifically,
Komori undergoes appropriate management of work hours, provides every employee with an opportunity to
receive regular health checkups, recommends participation in specific health guidance, improves health
by promoting radio calisthenics exercises, etc., and takes measures against infectious diseases such
as workplace-based vaccinations for COVID-19 and influenza.
We will continue to recognize employees’ health management from a management perspective, continuously
examine and review the effectiveness of our initiatives, solve various health issues, and maintain and
improve the health of employees and their families.

Komori has overseas subsidiaries in 18 locations throughout 11 countries, and one third of the employees are overseas personnel of foreign nationality. As further globalization of our businesses is expected going forward, we consider the development of global leaders to be an urgent matter. To that end, Komori defines global human resources as those that can plan and implement an overseas commercialization strategy together with the local staff. We have started training that aims to mainly strengthen adaptability to other cultures and business management know-how. We also promote human resource exchange with the overseas subsidiaries and hiring of overseas human resources, and are taking initiatives to establish a "people andorganization structure" that is in line with globalization.
