Chaired by the president and attended by managers of each division and major affiliated companies, the Technological Risk Management Taskforce debates risk management policies for the Group as a whole in order to clarify the directions of top management and formulate policies and priority issues for the fiscal year. Then, specific issues, offices and personnel in charge, as well as action plans are debated and determined at the four promotional committees under the taskforce. These committees comprise the Environmental and Safety Management Committees, Quality and Product Safety Committee, and the Intellectual Property Management Committee. Based on issues decided at these committees, each responsible department takes appropriate risk measures following related management rules and guidelines for the compilation of the JISQ2001 Risk Management System, and reports their progress status to the Technology Division Office on a quarterly basis.
The Technology Division Office then assesses the measures taken while company executives inspect their respective departments to carry out quality, environmental and safety management audits. When areas that require improvement are found, the Technology Division Office provides guidance. The office also analyzes efforts made by responsible departments and the latest risk management trends. It also studies agendas to be discussed in the Technology Risk Management Taskforce meeting of the following fiscal year and looks for problem areas that need to be dealt with.
In a variety of ways, Taiyo Nippon Sanso takes steps to thoroughly eliminate risks while revamping its management system so that risk management is pursued in a consistent manner throughout the entire Group. |
