Risk Management

The Tamura Group is working to maintain and strengthen its risk management systems in order to address a wide range of management crises appropriately.

Risk Management

The Tamura Group is committed to Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) aimed at identifying, assessing, and optimizing risks across the organization in an integrated and strategic manner in order to enhance sustainable corporate value.
To support these efforts, we have established a management framework based on internal policies and regulations, including the Risk and Crisis Management Regulations, Global Whistleblowing Regulations, Information Security Management Regulations, and the Group Emergency Response Framework Guidelines.
In recent years, various risks have emerged with the potential to exert significant impacts on society and the economy. In response, we have developed an Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) framework to identify, assess, and manage risks across the entire Group in a comprehensive and coordinated manner.

Risk management

Within the Group’s risk management framework, the executive management, centered on the Executive Officers’ Committee, is responsible for determining policies for risk response and implementing specific countermeasures, while the Board of Directors, as the supervisory body, oversees these activities. This structure clearly defines the respective roles and responsibilities for advancing risk management throughout the Group.
To support the Executive Officers’ Committee and promote its risk management activities, the Risk Management Committee has been established.
Furthermore, since June 2026, the Group has strengthened its company-wide approach to addressing key risks by enhancing coordination with the Sustainability Committee and strengthening the governance framework of the committees under its oversight.

Group Risk Management（ERM）process

At the Tamura Group, the Risk Management Committee regularly conducts risk assessments. During the assessment process, the heads of business divisions and corporate functions quantitatively evaluate potential risks based on four criteria: impact, likelihood of occurrence, urgency of response, and required response time. The Risk Management Committee reviews and discusses the results of these evaluations, identifies key risks, and submits its recommendations to the Executive Officers’ Committee for final determination. The Sustainability Committee, which operates under the Executive Officers’ Committee, coordinates responses to the identified key risks through its subordinate committees.
The Risk Management Committee monitors and evaluates the effectiveness of responses to key risks and reports its findings to the Executive Officers’ Committee. Following deliberation by the Executive Officers’ Committee, the results are reported to the Board of Directors. The Board of Directors oversees risk management activities conducted by management and, when necessary, provides recommendations to further strengthen risk management initiatives.

Crisis management

The Tamura Group has established a system called alarm escalation that, as an adjunct to regular reporting lines, enables immediate communication of information to management and to the Board of Directors when a crisis that could affect management has occurred or the potential for such a crisis has come to light. In the event of an emergency that poses a serious risk to business continuity, we will establish a crisis management task force headed by the President to respond to the crisis through a Company-wide system.

Response to Security Export Controls

In order to prevent weapons as well as products and technologies that can be diverted to military uses from passing into the hands of countries, terrorists, and others who threaten or may threaten the international community, major countries, including Japan, have created international frameworks to control exports.
From the viewpoint of security, the Japanese government is working to ensure appropriate trade control in accordance with the Foreign Exchange and Foreign Trade Act. The Tamura Group has formulated security export control regulations in response to this and submitted them to the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry. Since then, we have organized a security export control system within the company, and have taken strict measures by thoroughly informing employees through transaction screening and in-house education. In light of recent geopolitical changes, we have also reviewed our efforts to become more global and systematic.

Business Continuity Plan (BCP)

In the wake of the Great East Japan Earthquake, we recognized the importance of business continuity planning, and in FY2011 we published the Tamura Group Large-Scale Earthquake Countermeasure Manual for all domestic and overseas offices. This is a compilation of responses from initial response immediately after a large-scale earthquake to recovery and business resumption.
In FY2012, the Tamura Group Emergency Preparedness Manual was expanded to include wind and flood damage, fire, large-scale power outage, mass infection, radioactive contamination, and war/revolution/civil unrest/riots as disasters other than large-scale earthquakes.
In FY2021, we transitioned to the "Tamura Group Emergency Preparedness Construction Guidelines," and in FY2022, we began operating a checklist and are working on continuous improvements.

Maintenance and storage of emergency supplies

Maintenance and storage of emergency supplies have been under way on establishment basis. In FY2012, within Japan, storage of drinking water and food supplies, enough to last 3 days for employees who cannot return home on foot, has already been completed. In addition, protective helmets for evacuation have been distributed to not only Tamura Group's employees but also all the staff of subcontractors working at the Group's establishments. Further, based on lessons learned from the Great East Japan Earthquake where means of communication were destroyed in the aftermath of the earthquake, alternative means of communication have been introduced.
Following the preparation of stockpiles of generators in case of a power failure, rescue devices, portable toilets, and blankets in FY2013, disaster stockpile sets were distributed to all employees along with introduction of carts to some offices/factories in FY2014. In FY2015, a cell phone recharger and other related devices were distributed to all employees to complement the disaster stockpile sets. Accordingly, stockpiling has been accomplished. Starting in FY2016, emergency supplies have been maintained regularly by improving stockpiles and donating foodstuffs close to the best-before dates to food banks, etc.Since FY2023, the Tamura Group has deployed electric vehicles (EVs) and plug-in hybrid vehicles (PHVs) at selected facilities, where they can serve as emergency power sources during disasters or power outages.
