OSAKA SEALING PRINTING CO., LTD. (Headquarters: Tennoji-ku, Osaka City; President: Matsuguchi Tadashi), a member of the OSP Group, is pleased to announce that it held a completion ceremony on Wednesday, April 17, 2024, to mark the completion of the welfare building at its Okayama Plant, where film products are manufactured and processed.

The current office will be moved to the welfare building, and the vacant space will be used to install additional film processing machines to improve productivity. New operators to operate the machines are also planned. The OSP Group is promoting work-life integration by enhancing its systems so that employees can choose how they work and live from a variety of options in life. The Group is also working to create a workplace environment that makes it easy for female employees to continue working even after marriage and childbirth, and the welfare building has also been equipped with a new breast-pumping room and powder room. In addition, 144 solar panels (ZEB certified) will be installed on the roof of the welfare building and on the newly constructed large eaves, and the electricity generated will be used for self-consumption along with commercial electricity.

*ZEB certification: This refers to the Building Energy Saving Performance Labeling System, a certification system run by a third-party assessment organization specializing in the energy saving performance of buildings, led by the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism. Buildings that have received the highest five-star rating and have excellent energy saving performance are certified as ZEBs.

■ A comprehensive system that supports childbirth and childcare that goes beyond the law

We have also improved our systems to make it easy for employees to continue working after giving birth and raising children.
In addition to the use of a short-time work system for childcare (a maximum reduction of working hours of 2 hours), exemptions from non-scheduled work and restrictions on overtime work are limited to children up to the age of 3 under the law, but at OSP Group, this applies only up to the third grade of elementary school. In addition, child care leave is limited to the second child under the law, but can be taken for the third child and beyond (1 child: 5 days, 2 children: 10 days, 3 children: 15 days, 4 or more children: 20 days).
In addition, OSP Group has its own system that allows employees to take special paid leave when their wives give birth at their request (Full-time employees and contract employees: 2 consecutive days including the day of birth or the day of discharge from hospital, or 2 days including the day of birth and the day of discharge from hospital. Part-time employees: 1 day on the day of birth or the day of discharge from hospital if they have worked for 2 years or more). We also provide a system of leave for childcare adjustment period (up to 1 month at the employee's request), and other systems and environments that make it easy to work.
