Human Resource Strategy
Promotion of Wellness
Coworkers with the same aspiration engage in work with vitality
Establishing a corporate culture and environment where employees can excel with a robust vitality is an ongoing process without a final goal.
Having a healthy organization that is actively rejuvenated and having firm bonds in which employees support one another in taking on challengers is the foundation supporting Kaneka’s healthy management.

Forming the Foundation for a Healthy, Active Life
Maintaining an Environment Where It Is Easy to Work
Maintaining physical and mental health and an environment where work can be promoted while workers are refreshed leads to a way of working that increases productivity and to reforms to the work culture.
In fiscal 2025, we are aiming for 16.0 days of paid leave taken and 16.5 hours of overtime per month.
Raising Awareness for Active Support of Childbirth and Childcare
An ”iku-boss” seminar was held for superiors as a message to support work-life balance.
The seminar’s aim was to raise awareness of management at workplaces where diverse human resources actively take part and of developing the workplace, promoting a positive cycle in the organization at the workplace level. As one indicator, the percentage of men taking at least two weeks of continuous leave for childcare within one year of the child’s birth was over 30% and continues to rise each year.
Fostering One Team
Opportunities to Build Unity
“Run, Run, Run. Kaneka.” is a sports event to deepen ties within the Kaneka Group started in fiscal 2014. It is major festival centering on running—the main event is a group Ekiden—where Kaneka Group employees from inside and outside Japan gather together in the same place.
The initiative makes ties tangible, with all of the Kaneka Group becoming one team under one flag.
Out of ties between other departments and Group companies, new discoveries and creations emerge.
Many runners from Kaneka take part in the
Hokkaido marathon, which Kaneka has
co-sponsored since 2013, primarily
high-ranking runners from the Run, Run,
Run. Kaneka Ekiden.
On the day of the race, Hokkaido Group
companies and many people involved cheer
on the runners from the side of the road
despite the hot summer heat, together
adding to the excitement of the event.
