The purpose of the questionnaires is to investigate and distinguish risks concerning the Group as a whole and risks according to the characteristic features of each business and area, as well as to enhance risk awareness by each management-level employee. Furthermore, we not only provide feedback on the questionnaires in CSR workshops for those employees, but also discuss the unique risks in each base and group company, and considering appropriate countermeasures with everyone.We have committees to investigate common risks such as product risk* and information security in the Group and to consider suitable countermeasures.* For more information on product risk management, please see page 30.Enhancement of Information Security ManagementRecently, we are exposed to the risk of information leaks due to negligence and information ow by external attack.
