I am Nobuyuki Okawa and I represent Shibaura Holdings, inc. The Shibaura Group was founded in 1932 in Shibaura district, Tokyo, and since then we have consistently dealt with steel products. Thanks to all customers and counterparts, we celebrated the 90th anniversary in 2022. In April 2020, we established “Shibaura Group Corporate Philosophy” based on the management policies expressed by successive generations of management, which we have implemented throughout our organization. Under the principle of “Striving to become a company chosen by all of our customers by enhancing the quality of our services,” our employees are united in their efforts towards this goal.
The recent labor shortage issue in Japan is expected to become even more severe in the future, and small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are facing increasing difficulties in recruiting young employees. On the other hand, the number of people aged 60 and over is increasing, and healthy seniors who want to work is growing year by year. Companies are increasingly hoping that veteran employees will continue working for as long as possible. Considering these issues, the Shibaura Group has issued a “Health Management Declaration. We have positioned this year as the first year of Shibaura Group Health Management, and have set “Think about your own health and start at least one good thing and stay long in good health! as this year’s key theme. We hope to create an environment where more employees can work longer by reviewing our lifestyle habits and preventing illness and poor health. We believe that investing in employee health leads to increased vitality, higher productivity　and overall organizational revitalization.
We are committed to engaging with every employee and creating a company where they feel motivated and fulfilled. By sharing the “Shibaura Group Medium- to Long-term Plan” established in 2022 with everyone and move forward as one towards our 100th anniversary. We look forward to your continued support.
