Risk management

In anticipation of huge earthquakes, wind and floor damage, volcanic eruptions, and other large-scale natural disasters, we have formulated a business continuity plan (BCP) based on the policies below to confirm the safety of our employees and their families, and to check the status of and restore damage at each construction project office and operating site, as well as the situation at buildings that have already been delivered to customers.

Each year, we conduct initial response drills for after a disaster occurs. Done together with employees of group companies, these include disaster simulation drills, practical drills based on local characteristics, and drills to check our companywide coordination system. In light of the recent increases in damage caused by typhoons and heavy rains in various regions, we have also put together a Wind and Flood Damage Countermeasures Manual to prepare for such contingencies. In addition to earthquake, wind and flood damage, should there be a volcanic eruption, especially a massive eruption of Mt. Fuji, the Tokyo metropolitan area is expected to be severely affected by falling ash. As part of our preparations to minimize damage, we have formulated a new Volcanic Eruption Countermeasures Manual, and we are proceeding with measures against ash fall, such as facility maintenance and review of stockpiles.

The following Information Security Basic Policy has been established to protect customer information assets and promote activities in the area of information security.

Especially in response to the recent DX-driven expansion of cloud computing, IoT, AI, etc., and the growing threat of cyberattacks, the entire Takenaka Group, including overseas subsidiaries, has established systems to prevent ransomware and unauthorized access, detect attacks early, and minimize damage, as well as an information security incident response team called TAKENAKA-SIRT. These measures are based on standard guidelines and frameworks for cybersecurity, such as the Cybersecurity Management Guidelines, which were formulated by the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry, and they are promoted in cooperation with industry associations and various external security-related organizations. We are also focusing on educating and raising awareness among subcontractors to strengthen cybersecurity measures in supply chains. In the event of an information security-related risk occurring, we have set up a response system through which risks are assessed and analyzed, classified into levels, and reviewed by the Crisis Management Committee as necessary.

We have also established a separate basic policy for the protection of personal information, and we ensure that all executives, employees, and others are fully aware of the policy and endeavor to appropriately to safeguard personal information.
