Health-Conscious Management
Health-Conscious Management Declaration
Water is essential for human life and health. Water supply and sewerage systems are infrastructure that guarantees the right to life as stipulated in Article 25 of the Japanese Constitution. We are committed to contributing to the good health of people around the world through our water-related consulting services.
Moreover, our management capital is people, since it is people who generate the wisdom that is the source of our consulting services. We will continue to uphold this tradition of being a “company that values people,” as we have done since our founding. We are convinced that a company in which employees can work healthily and enthusiastically, and in which they can fulfill their potential to the fullest based on their individual personalities, is the best way to nurture people and develop the company.
As a company, we regard “health” as a management issue, and are committed to being a company where the company itself, its employees, and their families can work with greater peace of mind and in a manner that suits them.

Promotion Framework
Health-Conscious Management System
In promoting health-conscious management, we believe it is important for each and every employee to create a virtuous cycle of the three elements of “body (maintaining physical health),” “mind (maintaining mental health),” and “working with confidence (maintaining and maximizing performance).” We call this cycle the “Nihon Suido Consultants’ WLC (Work Life Circulation),” and see it as our health-conscious management system. In addition, at the suggestion of employees, the “Work-Life Balance Promotion Council” was established, through which employees and the company are working as one to promote a better work-life balance.
