Risk Management Concept
Our purpose is to "deliver health to people around the world through our products and services," and to create value, we must ensure the safe and stable supply of products and services through our business activities. At the same time, societal expectations for companies regarding environmental considerations and sustainability are increasing. By managing and appropriately controlling risks, we aim to maintain sound management and ensure stable profitability and growth, protecting the safety, health, and interests of our stakeholders, while also fulfilling our social responsibilities as a company.
Risk Management System
Our risk management policy is based on each department anticipating risks that may occur in or related to the performance of their business and taking appropriate preventative measures. In the unlikely event that a risk does materialize, we respond appropriately with the support of the relevant departments. In the event of an unforeseen incident, we have established Crisis Management Committee, which responds promptly while listening to the opinions of external advisors, including corporate lawyers, and has put in place a system to prevent damage and its escalation. Regarding preventive measures against the manifestation of potential risks, including those related to ethics and legal compliance, the Compliance Committee, an advisory committee to the Board of Directors, oversees the formulation and promotion of company-wide compliance risk plans.
Information Security
In 2015, we established the Information Security Management Committee, which is working to protect the personal information of customers, shareholders, and employees, and to address and strengthen issues related to cybersecurity.
We believe that ensuring information security is one of the most important issues in conducting business activities normally and smoothly, and have therefore formulated a basic policy on information security.
In addition, we regularly review our management regulations to ensure appropriate management.
We strive to raise awareness of information security by conducting regular annual e-learning training for all employees.
