Production stoppage risk from major natural disasters and concentration of production at the Fukuyama Plant

「Timber products are produced at a single location, the Fukuyama Plant in Hiroshima Prefecture. If an earthquake, tsunami or other event causes significant damage to the production line, or if an infectious disease outbreak forces us to suspend operations, production and shipment of products could be suspended temporarily or for an extended period, which could affect the Group's results. We have formulated a business continuity plan (BCP) and are working to establish systems to reduce human casualties and resume operations quickly in the event of a disaster.」
