A Risk Management Committee has been established under the Representative Director, building an integrated risk management framework that aggregates reports from each risk management oversight department to identify and manage material risks. The company comprehensively grasps short-, medium-, and long-term risks, including geopolitical risks and ESG-related risks, and enhances effectiveness by clarifying roles and responsibilities across the group as a whole.
