Risk Management
We believe that identifying and strengthening our response to management risks not only fulfills our corporate responsibility but also leads to our sustainable growth, and we are working to strengthen our risk management system.
The risk management policy stipulates that the company shall establish a high-precision crisis management system. The policy also stipulates that in the event of an emergency, we should prioritize respect for human life and seek rapid recovery.
Risk Management System
The company has established the Risk Management Committee, chaired by the president, as a body that oversees risk management. The Risk Management Committee is responsible for identifying and assessing various management risks and implementing risk mitigation measures, as well as planning and conducting disaster prevention-related education and training.
We have established and maintain a disaster response system that makes it possible to ensure the physical safety of people and protect lives, prevent and/or mitigate the expansion of corporate and stakeholder losses, and rapidly restore important business and business operations.
In the event of a serious disaster that could disrupt business continuity, the officer in charge of crisis management has the discretion to activate a crisis response headquarters and mount a company-wide response when a crisis occurs.

Business Continuity Management (BCM)
N.E. CHEMCAT has formulated a business continuity plan (BCP) for earthquakes, wind and water damage, infectious diseases, and other envisioned events.
We also take action to improve the crisis management system and response measures by operating the PDCA cycle to enhance our ability to respond when a crisis occurs.
Disaster Prevention Training and Drills
We conduct various kinds of training and drills for all employees as part of our business continuity management. Once a year, we conduct training and drills for all employees on disaster prevention measures during normal times and response procedures during emergencies.
| Safety verification drills | Response drills for all employees using the safety verification and response system | twice a year |
|---|---|---|
| Comprehensive disaster drills (Numazu and Tsukuba) | Training for evacuation, roll call, reporting, firefighting, and inspection based on the assumption of a large-scale earthquake, fire, chemical leak, and injuries (we also assumed a tsunami for the Numazu Plant) | Once per year for each type of work |
| Self-defense firefighting drills (head office) | Drills for evacuation, fire extinguishing, and reporting in case of a fire | Twice a year |
| BCP training and drills | Training and drills on internal information sharing, determining the response, and response procedures to maintain and quickly restore continuity of important operations in the event of a disaster | Once a year |
Information Security
To protect information assets including various confidential and personal information held by the company, we have established Regulations for Handling Confidential Information, Regulations for Handling Personal Information, and Regulations for Information Security to protect information assets including distinct types of confidential and personal information held by the company.
Based on these regulations, the company appoints an Information Security Management Officer (Director in charge of Corporate Planning Dept.) and an Execution Supervisor (General Manager of the Corporate Planning Dept.).
The Information Security Management Officer and the Execution Supervisor identify information security risks such as large-scale disasters, computer viruses, cyber-attacks, and information leaks, and promote measures to properly protect and manage the company's information assets from various threats, while constantly working to strengthen information security.
If information security risks materialize that make it difficult to maintain our information security and seriously affect our business, the Execution Supervisor shall report to the Information Security Management Officer and convene the Information Security Emergency Response Committee to respond appropriately to minimize the damage and promptly return the situation to normal.
In addition, to maintain and improve security, the company informs, educates, and instructs its officers and employees on information security standards and rules.
