To achieve the goals of the Denka Value-Up management plan, we aim to strengthen corporate governance and, to this end, strive to accurately assess the diverse and numerous risks arising from the Denka Group’s corporate activities, believing that minimizing damage arising from these risks is a matter of extreme importance. While risks inherent in specific operations are addressed by the pertinent business divisions, the Company also has in place dedicated departments tasked with addressing compliance, information security, environmental and occupational safety risks related to overall Denka Group operations. To this end, these departments implement employee education while monitoring risks in their areas of specialty. Furthermore, among risks related to the Group’s overall operations, product liability, export control and other key risks deemed particularly important are handled by dedicated committees.
