Identifying the risks of whole company

It is not possible to avoid the risks of accidents, natural disasters, breaches of laws and regulations, pollutions, product liability lawsuits, leaks of personal information and so on in business. Therefore, all possible risks must be clarified, based on the understanding that risks do exist and measures must be implemented to minimize the damage caused by the occurrence of the risks.

Tsuchiura Works' Compliance and Risk Management Committee has already identified the risks at the plant. As a result, they devised and implemented measures such as anti-earthquake reinforcement for the buildings at the plant. On the other hand, risks of whole company, including risks that pertain to the head office and to the Japan Division (which is responsible for sales and service), had not been identified. We identified risks related to the sections in the head office and at the Japan Division in February and March 2009. We are currently analyzing the identified risks. We will implement measures to reduce risks taking into consideration the possible effects and the frequency of occurrence of the risks.
