Policies and Strategies

At the Yukiguni Maitake Group, we assess the major factors that may become potential risks to the development of our business operations, recognize the possibility that these risks may occur, and work on avoiding and preventing the occurrence of these risks.

Structure and Governance

The Risk Management Committee has been established for the purpose of enhancing the risk management system and operating and managing company-wide risk management.
The Risk Management Committee is chaired by President & CEO, Representative Director, and is comprised of other full-time Directors (excluding Directors who are Audit and Supervisory Committee Members) and Executive Officers, pursuant to the Risk Management Regulations. In principle, the Risk Management Committee meets twice a year. In addition, a full-time Audit and Supervisory Committee Member attends the meeting as an observer, and Group company presidents and others attend the meeting as necessary, as designated by the chairperson of the Committee.

In the past, the Risk Management Committee only managed operational risks; however, in FY2022, it conducted an assessment using a risk map and identified our current risks such as business risks. As for operational risk and business risk, we operate risk management activities under the leadership of the Secretariat by setting up issues and measures each year for each department in charge and obtaining approval of the Risk Management Committee for those matters. In addition, our subsidiary also operates risk management activities similar to those of Yukiguni Maitake.

Moreover, the Risk Management Committee reports its activities for the previous year and its plan for the current fiscal year’s activities to the Board of Directors once a year.

Initiatives

Selection of significant risks

We identify various risk items surrounding our business environment and conduct risk assessments for each risk twice a year. We select risk items that are determined to have a significant impact on our business as a result of the risk assessments as significant risks.

Information security

In recent years, cyberattacks have become increasingly diverse and sophisticated all over the world. The risks caused by cyberattacks, such as computer virus infection and information leakage, are increasing.

Based on the “Yukiguni Maitake Information Security Regulations,” we have established an information security management system and are currently taking comprehensive measures to strengthen IT infrastructure and information security while promoting the enhancement of the management system and provision of education to employees.
