Risk Management Related to Climate Change and Environmental Impact

「Based on the above, the Internal Audit Office identifies and assesses all risks, including sustainability risks, by quantifying their likelihood of occurrence and impact on the business. The assessment results are reported to the Risk Management Committee, which discusses and considers whether risks have materialized and the appropriate response measures.」

「We recognize that the impact of climate change could pose a significant risk to our company, which uses wood as its primary raw material. We also believe that without the revitalization of local communities, it would not be possible to envision a prosperous future for our customers and children, who use our products. Accordingly, for environmental risks, we calculate and analyze annual waste volumes and carbon dioxide emissions while pursuing medium- to long-term reduction measures. For local revitalization, we provide support by making donations to public facilities in need of assistance and working to create and coordinate safe, comfortable living spaces.」
