(hereinafter "CARADA medica") signed a "Joint Initiative Memorandum of Understanding" to utilize a service that provides comprehensive support to improve health issues that are unique to women and verify the effects (hereinafter referred to as "this service"). This joint initiative (hereinafter referred to as "joint initiative") will start from February.
This service has been in joint development by Marubeni, MTI, and CARADA medica since July 2021 and is being provided to corporations. Through the provision of online consultation, medical care services and awareness activities in collaboration with medical institutions, this service improves menstrual pain and premenstrual syndrome (PMS), supports fertility and fertility treatment, and improves symptoms that appear during menopause, which working women faces as their health challenges at each life stage.
JAL recognizes that it is essential to improve the physical and mental health of employees in order to provide the best service to customers. JAL believe that the understanding and support of the actual health issues of female employees who are active in various workplaces, will greatly contribute to improve corporate value and the service which we provide to the customers. In addition, JAL and Marubeni have jointly implemented such various business activities as business jet charter services and a sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) production business in building a relationship as business partners.
Against this background, JAL has already participated as a demonstration company for this service, and has decided to implement a program that provides seminars to deepen the understanding of menstruation, fertility, and menopause for all employees regardless of gender, and "LunaLuna Telemedicine" for female employees.
