Risk of manufacturing plant shutdowns due to fire or explosion

「With regard to fire and explosion, we are promoting measures including maintaining fire-prevention equipment and managing buildings as required by law, managing hazardous and combustible materials, conducting fire drills, and maintaining fire insurance coverage. However, if a fire at a plant or other facility burns and damages buildings or equipment and injures or kills employees, or if plant operations must be suspended for an extended period until restoration is completed, this could affect the production and social credibility of our group and, depending on the scale of the impact, could impair the execution of our business.」
