The Furukawa Company Group will strengthen and expand the enterprise risk management system in order to improve the management foundation with a view to growth. The Group will also take steps to improve corporate value by business operation practices that show consideration for the Group's CSR and ESG issues.
The Risk Management Committee established at Furukawa Co., Ltd. is held twice a year in principle and chaired by the Company's Director in charge of Sustainability, with the Sustainability Promotion Department serving as the secretariat.
When risks emerge that appear capable of interfering with the Group's business activities, the Committee takes measures to protect life and property and to minimize its damage and losses. The Committee evaluates risks in every Group company and department and conducts examination and evaluation of measures to address risks. As a result, when a risk is judged to pose a danger of seriously affecting Group management, the Committee promotes effective management of that risk by reporting its evaluation results and the pros and cons of response measures to the Board of Directors. The Committee also has the Human Rights Risk Sectional Meeting, Environmental Risk Sectional Meeting, and Group BCP Sectional Meeting under it. These meetings address issues relating to human rights, issues relating to carbon neutrality and other matters concerning climate change, and issues relating to business continuity when crises occur, and take measures to resolve them, respectively.
