Risk Management System

We have the “Regulations for Risk Management” in place in order properly to manage various risks and to maintain and improve our corporate value. The system is structured with Risk Management Committee, which addresses overall management risks, and subordinate subcommittees for crisis management, compliance management, disclosure, information security, export security, environment and quality, which address issues in each of specific areas. The Internal Audit Office audits these efforts and we ensure continuous improvements.

We have the “Crisis-Management Manual” in place in order promptly to respond to fires, earthquakes, other natural disasters and/or other risks. Furthermore, we have established a “Crisis Management Committee” which meets regularly to discuss risk countermeasures and makes its decisions known throughout the Company.
