Governance

Risk Management

The Nissui Group, whose mission is to produce various food products, pharmaceutical ingredients, etc. from resources including marine products and supply them to people around the world, is striving to continue stable production and sales in order to fulfill such duty. In order to further solidify its business activities, we have established the "Risk Management Policy," and the Risk Management Committee is building and implementing a risk management system aimed at fulfilling the vision sought under the Policy. Furthermore, risks with a significant impact are identified as priority risks by the Risk Management Committee and addressed by setting up a dedicated subcommittee.

Risk Management Policy

Nissui and its Group's basic policy for risk management is to endeavor to prevent risks that may hinder business activities from arising, and in the event of an emergency, minimize the occurrence of losses by giving top priority to human life, give consideration to society such as providing aid to disaster victims, and make best efforts to preserve our management resources and continue our businesses and thereby maintain and improve corporate value.

Current Issue and Reorganizing of the System

The Nissui Group aims to expand its business activities globally. Such expansion exposes the Group to impacts from economic, social and environmental changes; clearly, the Group must prepare for such risks, which will continue to grow in diversity and complexity. One current issue, however, is that risk management is handled separately by each committee. In FY2023 the Group is reviewing the risk management response of each committee to each theme, identifying risks from a Group-wide perspective that transcends the remit of each committee and drive the PDCA cycle to effect changes in its organization.

The Vision Targeted in 2030

  • Nissui-led comprehensive risk management is effectively incorporated in accordance with the plan-do-check-action (PDCA) cycle with respect to operational risks and hazard risks of the Nissui Group in Japan.
  • A standardized policy for risk management is shared among Group companies outside Japan, and initiatives are conducted in accordance with the PDCA cycle at such companies.
