Basic Philosophy on Health and Safety
The Toyoda Gosei Group considers employee safety
and mental and physical health to be one of our mostimportant management issues, and we do our best toensure secure and pleasant workplace environments
for all business operations.

Health and Safety Initiatives
Based on the above basic philosophy, we have established the Safety and Health Declaration and are working to
spread our company initiatives.
Safety andHealthDeclaration

1. We will comply with all laws and company regulations and standards related to safety and health.
2. We will keep in mind that “Safety takes priority over everything else” and ensure that each andevery one of us acts in a “safety-first” manner.
3. We will engage in initiatives with a sense of ownership, and strive to foster a culture of safety inwhich all employees participate and are mutually enlightened.

Implementation System
The Central Safety and Health Committee, chaired by
the general manager in charge of the Safety & Health
Promotion Division and attended by the president, thelabor union chairperson, all plant managers in Japan,
and the presidents of domestic and overseas
subsidiaries, meets four times a year to report anddeliberate on various safety and health-related
measures, and report the results of these deliberations
to the Board of Directors.
Targets and Achievements (Global)
Based on the belief that it is the company’s
responsibility to ensure that all employees return homefrom work in the same good health state as they
arrived at work, we have set a global target of zerocritical*1 and severe*2 STOP7*3 accidents, and are
implementing various measures. In FY2022, we
implemented initiatives to prevent entanglementaccidents by focusing on eliminating hazardous
sources, isolating hazardous sources, and shifting toinherent safety measures through automation andother means.

In addition to the deliberation results of the Central
Safety and Health Committee, the entire company
works together to implement initiatives by repeatedly
disseminating safety information through thepresident’s New Year message and company
newsletters. We also regularly share information with
our suppliers through procurement liaison meetingsand other means.
