Risk Management
The Risk & Compliance Committee is held quarterly (7 times in FY2025 (ending October 2025)) to evaluate and manage group-wide business risks along two axes: "impact" and "likelihood of occurrence." The Risk Management Office, serving as the secretariat, works with the Sustainability Promotion Committee to identify, analyze, and assess risks, including climate change risk, and a system has been established whereby important matters are reported to the Board of Directors. In response to issues of fraudulent and improper receipt of employment adjustment subsidies at a subsidiary, a time-limited Subsidiary Governance Review Committee was established in April 2025, and the company is working to strengthen group governance.
