The Company prepared a BCP manual in anticipation of major earthquakes, including the projected Tonankai and Nankai Trough earthquakes. All sections, branch offices, and operations have developed their own individual emergency response measures to ensure business continuity.
In addition, once a year, the Risk Management Department requests each branch office to carry out a self-inspection to check for any shortfalls in its earthquake readiness measures and also verifies, by itself, the state of the maintenance of related systems.

In addition to the need to collect information rapidly for purposes such as checking on staff safety and ascertaining damage in the event of large-scale disasters, the reliable delivery of instructions and communications from the disaster task force are vital. Based on experiences with past earthquakes, the Company has deployed IP transceivers at each facility in Japan. IP transceivers can be used for communication even in cases such as power failures or restricted telephone service. Periodic communication drills ensure all employees know how to use the IP transceivers.

The Company lacks subsidiaries with head offices located in tax havens.

There were no environmental violations during FY2023. In addition, fines were 0 yen.
