In order to comprehensively manage and precisely respond to various risks encountered by the Nikon Group, the group established the Risk Management Committee in April 2006.
Centered on the Risk Management Committee, the Nikon Group's risk management system endeavors to manage organizationally all risks affecting the group, to prevent damage from occurring, and to respond appropriately in the event of the materialization of any risks.
The Risk Management Committee ascertains and assesses risks within the Group and implements measures to counteract those that could affect business operations. It also conducts education and training to minimize damage in the event a risk materializes. Furthermore, through regular risk monitoring, the Committee implements a risk management PDCA cycle in a system that can respond precisely even to newly occurring risk.
The BCM Subcommittee and the Information Security Subcommittee both were established and began full-fledged activities in July 2006. Furthermore, a BCM Section was set up in the Corporate Planning Department and an Information Security Section in the Information System Planning Department in May 2007, to serve as specialized organizations in their respective areas. In the area of BCM, in July 2007 the Integrated Disaster Prevention and BCM Committee was established separately from the Risk Management Committee.
The system that assures the safety of the growing number of overseas employees (expatriate staff and workers traveling abroad) has been under review since October 2007. The Pandemic Flu Subcommittee was established in April 2008. It has begun work on reaching and maintaining Group-wide preparedness for the new social threat of an influenza virus pandemic.
