Disaster Prevention/Mitigation, and BCP

Initiatives for disaster prevention/mitigation

We conduct a disaster prevention drill every September assuming what to do first in case of an earthquake from the Nankai Trough. The drill this year was smaller with more evacuation spots to keep distance by avoiding COVID-19 infection. Also, Manufacturing Division and Tools & Machinery conduct a fire extinguishing drill on a regular basis.
Also, we donate food stockpiles for disasters to the Food Bank at an appropriate timing of replacement from the perspectives including food waste reduction and supporting those in need to build a relationship of helping local communities.

Initiatives for BCP (Business Continuity Plan)

We have a BCP Committee for an immediate recovery from difficulties of business continuity in various fields. Sub-committees for the operation of crisis response to headquarters, supply continuity, and production recovery are set and various training programs are provided to minimize the damage of business activities and the impact on local communities. Also, a training program against cyberterrorism has been added to take full security measures.
Purchasing Division has introduced a system checking the real-time damage of suppliers in times of a disaster. We are strengthening the cooperation with them for appropriate decisions through immediate information sharing.
