Number of 14,544 Employees, Certified as a GUINNESS WORLD
RECORDS™ title

together to complete one mosaic.
UT Group Co., Ltd., a company engaged in the dispatch of workers in the manufacturing fields, wasrecognized by GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS™ for having the highest number of 14,544 participants
contribute to its online photo mosaic using photographs on July 30, 2024. The GUINNESS WORLD
RECORDS™ certificate award ceremony was held on August 19.

■ Why UT Group, a company dedicated to dispatch manufacturing workers, challenged theGUINNESS WORLD RECORDS™ title
In order to enhance the convenience of the dispatch workstyle and make it a selected workstyle in society,
UT Group is taking on the challenge of two goals, which we call the "Dispatch Final." Its first goal is toincrease the value of workers by providing opportunities for each of 400,000 manufacturing dispatch
workers to realize their most desired career development and workstyle. The second goal is to help solve
the human resource issues of client companies in the manufacturing dispatch market.

The aim of this GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS™ challenge was to foster a sense of unity throughout theUT Group and lay the foundation for the realization of the "Dispatch Final" by having all employees, whousually work at different workplaces on a daily basis, complete an online photo mosaic in the same periodof time. The UT Group has over 50,000 employees.Employees who are assigned to different workplaces
at different client companies and work different working hours participated in the GUINNESS WORLD
RECORDS™ challenge, and 14,544 photos were contributed. As a result, the entire company worked
together to achieve a common goal and complete a single online photo mosaic.
The design of the online photo mosaic was inspired by the picture book "Swimmy," published in 1963 by
the American writer and illustrator Leo Leoni1. We used Swimmy as a motif in the design. This is because,since its founding, UT Group has empathized with this story of all little fish working as a group to confront
big fish. Based on the plot of the picture book, our online photo mosaic expresses that our employeescome together and then become empowered to realize the "Dispatch Final."
1: The online photo mosaic was produced by being inspired by the writer Leo Leoni and his picture book Swimmy but UT Group has nothing to do with him
or his book.

Comments from the Chairman and President of UT Group on the GUINNESS WORLD

RECORDS™ certification[Comment from UT Group Chairman Yoichi Wakayama]
The design of this online photo mosaic was inspired by the world of the picturebook "Swimmy." Small fish form schools to overcome adversity and survive inthe ocean. Like this story, which I have liked since I was a child, we have strived
hard since our foundation to become a company that can do what one person
cannot accomplish alone, and to make the dispatch workstyle become chosen
as a way of working. In light of the achievement of the GUINNESS WORLD
RECORDS™ title for the online photo mosaic representing the world of thepicture book that has accompanied us all throughout UT Group’s history, I am even more committed torealizing a society where workers and companies can grow.
[Comment from UT Group President Manabu Sotomura]
The UT Group is comprised of 13 companies that are engaged in worker
dispatch and office service businesses, or provide internal welfare and benefit
services. Some of our group companies have become consolidated
subsidiaries in recent years, and I find it very meaningful that we were able toachieve the common goal of the GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS™ attempt
together with our employees from diverse countries, regions and cultures.
Based on this unified experience as a corporate group, we will continue to work
to help our workers develop their careers and to help our client companies solve human resource issues.
