Risk management

Risk management and Business continuity management

Risk Management System

We appoint a Risk Management Officer from among our directors and executive officers. This post is in charge of executing risk management. We are thus constructing a system for systematic risk management activities.
Risk management at ordinary times includes measures by each section for risk reduction/moderation and preparation of procedures in case of risk.
We regularly perform a self-check on the state of management in an ongoing effort to enhance management.

Crisis Response and Business Continuity Management

We have prepared rules on actions to be taken by organizations and employees at the time of a crisis. We apply them to group companies as well. In Japan, the Company has created a Business Continuity Plan (BCP) intended for a large-scale earthquake as one of the biggest risks in business continuity. Education and training based on BCP is provided on a regular basis.
We reflect drill results and update/revise BCP periodically to improve the capability against risk in business continuity.
