On April 1, 2025, the new employee entrance ceremony was held at the headquarters of Eiwa Shoko Co., Ltd. During the ceremony, the representative director and president took the stage and delivered an inspiring message to the new employees. In the speech by the representative of the new employees, they expressed their determination to approach their work with sincerity, feeling both excitement and anxiety, which was met with a big round of applause from the attendees. We are confident that this entrance ceremony marks the first step in paving the way for a company that will continue for 100 years, and we expect that the potential held by the new employees will become a driving force for the further development of Eiwa Shoko Co., Ltd. in the future.

In our work, "safety" is the top priority and the most important matter above all else. Throughout this event, I hope that each individual has had the opportunity to reconsider "safety," recognizing the risks that exist in daily tasks and the impact of their actions on those around them. Of course, in addition to safety, I hope we can connect this to an overall improvement in awareness across the workplace aimed at enhancing work quality.

At Eiwa Shoko, all employees gather for meetings twice a year, in the first and second halves of the year. New graduate employees are introduced, new hires are presented, and the winners of safety slogans solicited within the company are announced. Employees selected for various reasons such as outstanding achievements, contributions to performance improvement, integrity, good deeds, and service are recognized. Various presentations were also made by the president and department heads. This time, at the suggestion of the president, a new internal award system was established, including the Best Performance Award, Good Performance Award, and Nice Performance Award.
