Recognized as an Outstanding Company for Cancer Control Promotion in FY 2024
We are pleased to announce that Nagase ChemteX Corporation (hereinafter referred to as "our company") has been recognized as an "Outstanding Company for Cancer Control Promotion in FY 2024" by the Cancer Control Promotion Corporate Alliance Headquarters, a project commissioned by the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare.
This recognition is awarded to companies that demonstrate exceptional commitment to cancer prevention and support for employees undergoing treatment. Since joining the Cancer Control Promotion Corporate Action in 2020, our company has received this honor four times.
