Nitto Group Business Continuity Management (BCM)

By following the four basic policies of the PDCA cycle, we perform business continuity management (BCM) activities with a close connection between disaster mitigation (disaster prevention and damage minimization efforts) and quick recovery.

* BCM (Business Continuity Management): The entire management system, from BCP formation and operation to revision.

* BCP (Business Continuity Plan): An action plan during disasters as a life line to keep business going.

* From the Business Continuity Plan Formation Guidelines Summary, provided by METI (Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry), and the Commerce and Information Policy Bureau.

Disaster Prevention and Damage Minimization Efforts (Mitigation)

Measures are in place to minimize personal and property damage caused by natural disasters such as major earthquakes, fires, and flooding, as well as infectious diseases not only internally but also externally.
Emergency action plans for each type of disaster have been established, and top management as well as all employees regularly engage in education and training.
Education and training are conducted at each site based on content that matches the anticipated disaster risks in that region, and continuous improvements are made with respect to problems and issues that come to light through the training.

Efforts for Quick Recovery

Nitto Group's core businesses and important tasks are clarified, a target restoration time is set, and an emergency plan of action is formulated damage is confirmed and customers are contacted. A common action plan is formulated based on common themes that all target businesses and tasks share, as well as individual plans, which are tailored to individual needs for functions such as IT and distribution.

Emergency plans of action are tested periodically through disaster prevention training, and improvements are made based on the results. Our core businesses and important tasks are revised on a periodic basis as well.
