Risk Management
KOITO enriches and reinforces comprehensive risk management to properly identify diversifying and complex risks,prevent risks from becoming materialized, and minimize damage in case problem occurs.
Departments are assigned to risk management, including the implementation of measures to reduce and avoid risks anddaily management. The Quality Assurance Department is assigned risks associated with the safety of products, theProcurement Headquarters handles risks in the supply chain, and the Safety Environment Department handles risks ofnatural disasters. As such, each department assess relevant risks and implement preventive measures. Ofﬁcers of assigned
responsible departments act as the general managers. In addition, training on individual risks is provided to employees.
If risks become actual problems, the basic protocol is to report the incidents to the Board of Directors, the highest
decision-making entity of the business administration, and such problems are swiftly and properly handled under thedirection of the top administrators.

Natural Disaster Risks
Based on our basic policy “to prioritize human lives and maintain business
continuity,” KOITO examines disaster control, initial response, andrestoration work to ﬁnd problems and re-evaluate and reinforce BCP
activities based on lessons learned through natural disasters such as theGreat East Japan Earthquake, Kumamoto Earthquake, heavy rains,
typhoons, and expected damage caused by the Nankai Trough Earthquake.
To control damage from natural disasters, such as earthquakes, KOITO
implements aseismic reinforcement of production site buildings, anti-fallmeasures for facilities and equipment, installation of emergency
earthquake notiﬁcation systems, regular disaster drills includingevacuation and ﬁreﬁghting, all-employee safety conﬁrmation drills, andgeneral inspections of the maintenance and management of evacuationroutes. KOITO also intends to minimize the damage caused by disasters by
hosting lectures on how to check hazard maps and evacuation.
To prevent ﬁre, KOITO makes efforts to reinforce the system to ensure
quick extinguishing through thorough management of hazardous materials
and combustibles, such as organic solvents, increased installation andrearrangement of ﬁre extinguishing equipment to prepare for ﬁre, andimplementation of initial ﬁreﬁghting training.
In addition, on-site inspections on safety, ﬁre, and disaster prevention arebeing conducted at subsidiaries and suppliers. Subsidiaries in Japan are
also mutually inspecting and improving each otherʼs production sites inSubsidiaries Mutual Safety Inspections to improve the safety, ﬁre, anddisaster prevention level in the entire Group and the supply chain.
