The "Workplace Environment Certification System" Secretariat will continue to collaborate with business associations and disseminate the significance and effects of "visualizing" efforts to create a work-friendly environment through seminars like this.

<About the "Workplace Environment Certification System">

The official name is the "Driver Workplace Environment Improvement Certification System." This system, established by the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism, "visualizes" the "work-friendliness" for truck, bus, and taxi drivers through a certification mark. Its purpose is to promote job placement for drivers and support the talent acquisition efforts of transportation businesses.

Companies with this mark have implemented various initiatives to improve the working conditions and environment for their drivers and have been certified after a content review by the certification body.

It aims to create a better workplace environment for each individual employee, including the active recruitment of female drivers, an increase in annual paid leave days, reduction of overtime work, and initiatives to protect mental and physical health, serving as a guide for choosing a workplace.

The Nippon Kaiji Kentei Kyokai (Japan Maritime Association) is a "Certification Body" designated by the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism, responsible for the examination, certification, and public relations activities of this system.
