Our group has the Risk & Compliance Committee (RC Committee) in place as the governing body for compliance with laws and regulations, our articles of incorporation, and corporate ethics, and to establish a risk management system. The committee discusses matters important in terms of risk and compliance, and then determines policies. Individual risks are controlled and addressed by responsible departments under the RC Committee's supervision.

The Toyo Tanso Group is furthering risk management activities by establishing the Risk & Compliance Committee as an organization that will oversee the risk management activities of the entire Group. The Committee consists of members appointed by the Representative Director from among Group directors and executive officers together with an administrative office.
Meetings of the Risk & Compliance Committee are held quarterly. The Committee conducts continuous monitoring activities that include identifying, calculating, and evaluating risks, determining which risks to prioritize in risk management and the departments responsible for handling them, and compiling reports from each responsible department and affiliated companies based on a list of risk and compliance management items. The Committee also provides reports to top management.

We conduct a survey once every three months using our list of risk and compliance management items so that we may centrally manage the Toyo Tanso Group's risk response situation. Risks consisting of 12 items at the major classification level and 49 items at the sub-classification level are selected for the list of management items.
