At our company, risks arising from daily operations are categorized into “credit risk,” “market risk,” “liquidity risk,” “operational risk,” etc. according to risk factors, and a system is established to appropriately manage them depending on the characteristics of each risk. We are also working to improve a risk management system to enhance corporate value by ensuring sound and stable corporate management.
Our company has established a backup office in Tokyo in normal times which is to be prepared for serving as a business base at the time of emergency, and has also established an emergency operation system by assigning certain personnel to the Osaka Head Office.
We are also operating our major accounting and settlement systems in the cloud (two data centers, east and west, always redundant). Even if one data center is damaged by a disaster, the system can be quickly switched to the other center to continue operations.
In fact, since March 2020, in order to deal with the risk of COVID-19, we have been operating (triplication) business sites, including backup offices, at all times. We are operating under a strong BCP system that can respond not only to earthquakes, etc. but also to pandemics.
