Process Safety and Disaster Prevention

1）Basic policy on security and disaster prevention

　Our Group is striving to maintain stable operations and improve the level of security and disaster prevention management, and promoting security and disaster prevention activities to ensure the safety of our employees and local communities. 

　In particular, under the philosophy of “human life come first,” we conduct emergency response training at all of our factories every year.

2）Examples of Initiatives

Participation in the firefighting skills competition

　IAt the Aichi Factory, in October 2025, they participated in a firefighting skills competition organized by the Fire Prevention Division of the Niwa Wide-Area Fire Department, to raise the employees' awareness of disaster prevention. This competition is an event to compete in terms of both time and accuracy of a series of actions, from reporting a fire to rescuing injured people, initial firefighting with fire extinguishers, and reporting on activities. In the event this year, an employee of our company won a prize (in the men’s category).

Disaster prevention drills

　In November 2025, at Nobeoka, Aichi and Tochigi Factories, we implemented evacuation drills and fire drills with an aim of raising the ability to respond, assuming occurrence of earthquakes and factory fire.

Evacuation drills

　In June and November 2025, members of our Tokyo Head Office participated in joint disaster drills that involved all tenants of the Ueno Frontier Tower, where the Head Office is located. Assuming occurrence of an earthquake followed by fire, the procedures for behaviors at the time of fire were practiced by evacuating the building and going to the designated evacuation place through emergency stairs.

The Shakeout Drill

　In preparation for natural disasters such as earthquakes, we have installed an emergency earthquake warning system, and we regularly conduct “shakeout drills” in conjunction with emergency earthquake warning drills. This is a drill to learn the safety action 1-2-3 “First, protect your head and stay low, and don't move” in the event of an earthquake, and it is essential to be prepared for when the time comes. As in previous years, in FY2025 we responded to calls from government agencies such as the Fire and Disaster Management Agency and conducted drills at the Aichi, Tochigi, and Hiroshima Factories in November.
