Risk Management
Day-to-day risk management is overseen by the General Affairs Department of the HR & General Affairs Division, while the Risk Management Committee identifies and analyzes significant management risks on a case-by-case basis. A framework has been established under which the three internal control committees—the Compliance Committee, the Risk Management Committee, and the Sustainability Committee—report to the Board of Directors on a quarterly basis. For sustainability-related risks, the Sustainability Committee identifies and assesses their materiality and formulates response policies.
