Definition and Methodology of Water Withdrawal
  • Water withdrawal refers to the total volume of water withdrawn from external water sources for operational use.
  • Water withdrawal data are converted from metric tons to cubic meters, assuming a water density of 1t = 1m³.
  • The majority of the Group’s water withdrawal occurs at France Bed Co., Ltd., and therefore the data are representative of the Group’s water usage.

For Human Resource Development, data cover France Bed Co., Ltd.
All other indicators cover the France Bed Group (including consolidated subsidiaries).
[ Reporting Period ]

  • *1 The calculation uses the number of female managers divided by the total number of managers.
  • *2 The calculation uses the average annual income of male employees and that of female employees.
  • *3 The ratio represents the percentage of male employees who took childcare leave, etc.

Work-related accident statistics are presented using two indicators: Frequency Rate and Severity Rate, together with the number of lost workdays.

・Frequency Rate
Lost Time Incident Rate (LTIR) is defined as the number of work-related injuries or fatalities that result in at least one day of lost work time, divided by the total number of hours worked during the period, and multiplied by 1,000,000.

[ Formula ]
Frequency Rate = (Number of fatalities and injuries due to work-related accidents ÷ Total working hours) × 1,000,000

（Note）
Numerator: If the same person has multiple work related accidents, each accident is counted separately.
Denominator: Total working hours include regular and overtime hours; vacation, sick leave, and holidays are excluded.

・Severity Rate
Severity Rate is defined as the number of lost workdays resulting from work-related injuries or fatalities, divided by the total number of hours worked during the period, and multiplied by 1,000.

【Formula】
Severity Rate = (Number of lost workdays due to work-related accidents ÷ Total working hours) × 1,000

（Note）
Numerator: Lost workdays are counted as calendar days the employee is unable to work starting from the day after the incident.
Denominator: Total working hours include regular and overtime hours; vacation, sick leave, and holidays are excluded
