Risk management
We are enhancing and strengthening our risk management system for more prompt and effective risk response
Our risk management system is based on the Risk Management Committee's cross-functional oversight of Company-wide risks (those with the potential to affect or harm physical, economic, or creditworthiness aspects) and examination of countermeasures. A Business Continuity Plan was created on April 1, 2010 and is updated annually.
Each department creates rules and guidelines and publishes manuals to raise awareness of its relevant risks related to compliance, responses to antisocial forces, the environment, disasters, quality, information security, credit management, investment & financing, and export management. When an unexpected situation occurs, an Emergency Management Headquarters is immediately established to implement countermeasures in accordance with our Emergency Management Protocol.
In addition to the above, the Board of Directors promptly appoints directors to be responsible for responding to risks that have newly arisen and establishes systems for responding appropriately.
We also conduct annual disaster prevention drills in preparation for emergencies. Our main sites conduct fire drills and large-scale disaster-response drills envisioning various situations, such as an earthquake or tsunami. Our disaster preparation also includes stockpiles of emergency supplies at all sites.
The highest priority of our business continuity plan (BCP) is the safety of our employees. The plan includes an employee safety confirmation system for use in a natural disaster in Japan, such as a major earthquake. We maintain the BCP and other systems are designed to ensure the safety of our employees and raise awareness of the importance of disaster prevention.
