Approach to Health and Productivity Management
Tokyo Electron believes that for a company to grow and develop continuously, it is essential for each employee to lead a fulfilling life and maximize their full capacity. In addition to creating an environment where employees can maintain their health and work productively, it is important for employees to be aware of their own health and actively work to maintain and improve it. Based on the Health and Productivity Management Declaration announced in February 2012, we advance health and productivity management under the leadership of the Corporate Officer responsible for health promotion.
Objectives of Health and Productivity Management
We are committed to enabling employees to maintain and improve their health, achieve personal growth and lead fulfilling lives. At the same time, we engage in health and productivity management to enhance corporate value by creating an environment where employees can fully demonstrate their abilities.
Health and Productivity Management Promotion System
To advance health and productivity management, we have established a promotion system with the Representative Director, President & CEO serving as the overall responsible officer. Through this system, activity policies are determined and monitored. We announced our Health and Productivity Management Declaration* in 2012, and the Human Resources Department at our headquarters, occupational health professionals such as occupational health physicians and public health nurses at Group companies are working together with the Tokyo Electron Health Insurance Society to address health-related issues.

Health and Productivity Management Initiatives
In addition to conducting various medical checkups in accordance with laws and regulations, we provide face-to-face consultations by designated occupational health physicians for employees working excessive hours. We also provide opportunities for counseling by external industrial counselors for employees who request such support. Furthermore, we regularly hold line-care*¹ seminars for management-level employees and, as needed, conduct liaison meetings with the health officers and health professionals of domestic Group companies to strengthen our health support system.
In addition, based on the concept of Collaborative Health*², we work in cooperation with the Tokyo Electron Health Insurance Society to advance Data Health*³ initiatives that utilize health checkup data. We provide health guidance tailored to each employee’s individual circumstances and implement effective measures for disease prevention and health promotion.
Line-care: A practice in which managers and supervisors, such as department managers and section managers, pay attention to and support the mental health and well-being of the employees and team members under their supervision
Collaborative Health: An approach in which insurers, such as health insurance societies, and companies actively work together to promote the health of employees and their families in an effective and efficient manner
Data Health: Health promotion programs through which health insurers utilize and analyze electronic health and medical data to provide more effective and efficient health services tailored to the health conditions of insured individuals
Health and Productivity Management Outstanding Organizations Recognition Program
Our initiatives to support the maintenance and promotion of employees’ physical and mental health have been highly recognized, and in 2025 we were certified as one of the Outstanding Organization of KENKO Investment for Health (Health and Productivity Management Outstanding Organization) (Large Enterprise Category) under a program jointly administered by Japan’s Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry and the Nippon Kenko Kaigi. In addition, Group companies in Japan have also been certified as Outstanding Organization of KENKO Investment for Health 2025 (Health and Productivity Management Outstanding Organization).
Going forward, we will continue to practice continuous improvement through the PDCA cycle, further enhance our Health and Productivity Management initiatives, and work to create a workplace environment in which employees can stay healthy and maintain their health and work energetically.

Mental Health Measures
As part of our efforts to manage employees’ mental health, we conduct an annual stress check in Japan using a questionnaire recommended by the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare. Employees determined to be under high stress through the stress check results are encouraged to attend consultations with an occupational health physician or public health nurses, and consultations are provided to those who wish to consult. Additionally, we have introduced external counselors and an Employee Assistance Program (EAP)* to enhance mental health support for employees.
For employees who have taken leave due to mental health issues, we provide comprehensive support for their return to work, including return-to-work preparation programs as part of our EAP.

Building of a Framework for Self-care
We have introduced the healthcare platform “Pep Up” as part of our health management efforts. This platform allows employees to easily check their health-related data, including blood pressure, weight, body fat percentage and health age* based on their medical checkup results, enabling them to engage in self-care for their health. Through the platform, we provide employees with health-related information tailored to their individual health status and organize walking events. Additionally, we distribute wearable devices that track physical activity and calories burned, helping to promote health improvement.
In addition, we offer annual influenza vaccinations to employees and their families to reduce the risk of seasonal influenza outbreaks. This helps maintain employees' health and minimize the impact on business operations. We cover the cost of vaccination and make it easy for employees to get vaccinated by setting up on-site vaccination clinics and making other arrangements. We will continue to strengthen our infectious disease prevention measures and pursue initiatives that prioritize the health and well-being of employees and their families.
At some sites in Japan and overseas, gyms are available on the premises, helping to promote employees' health and provide mental refreshment through exercise. In the cafeterias at our domestic offices, we offer colorful and satisfying menus that are well-balanced while being lower in calories and sodium, supporting employees’ health maintenance and energy replenishment. Through these initiatives, we support the health of our employees.
Health age: This refers to an indicator showing risk of lifestyle diseases, calculated based on the results of an employee's medical checkup. The difference in years with the employee's actual age is displayed, helping them understand their equivalent age in terms of their health conditions.
Promotion of Specific Health Guidance
In collaboration with the Tokyo Electron Health Insurance Society, we provide lifestyle improvement support (specific health guidance) by occupational health nurse and registered dietitians for employees identified as being at high risk of lifestyle-related diseases based on their health checkup results. These efforts help enable early intervention and prevent the progression of lifestyle-related diseases.
Hosting of Health-related Seminars
We hold Group-wide seminars on topics such as sleep, exercise, nutrition, and mindfulness. Additionally, Group companies organize seminars tailored to their specific issues. Employee satisfaction surveys conducted after each seminar yielded an average score of 4.4 out of 5, indicating that many employees found the content valuable. In collaboration with the Tokyo Electron Health Insurance Society, we also host events aimed at raising employee health awareness and encouraging lifestyle improvements.
Various Indicators and Achievements
Recognizing that our employees both create and fulfill company values, we have set a goal of achieving an employee retention rate of 99.0% in Japan. While our retention rate for fiscal year 2026 was 99.1%, we will continue to implement sustained and effective measures to further enhance employee engagement.
Moreover, efforts to improve the implementation rate of specific health guidance and the paid leave utilization rate have made progress. We will continue working to improve employees' lifestyle habits as well as mental and physical health, maintaining and enhancing their health.
