Risk ManagementThe Yamaha Motor Group is working on risk management, crisis management, and business continuity as follows. Risk Management Structure Based on the Rules of Risk Management, the risk management structure works toward the thorough reduction of risks on a Groupwide basis and is overseen by the Sustainability Committee and its subordinate council, the Sustainability Promotion Meeting, which comprises the risk manage-ment supervisory section and divisions in charge of risk management. The committee, chaired by the president and chief executive officer, monitors risk on a Groupwide basis while also designating significant risks at the Group level to be tackled as priorities and monitoring activi-ties to address such risks.Furthermore, the divisions in charge of risk management formulate response policies and rules for the risks under their charge, promote activities to address risks based on these response policies, etc., and monitor activities at headquarters’ divisions and Group companies.Risk Management Structure Risk Management Activity Cycle Risk management activities are promoted through the repetition of the following plan–do–check–act (PDCA) cycle. The Yamaha Motor Group has prepared a risk management ledger of all risks that need to be cov-ered and works to reduce risk by appropriately managing and operating the risk management ledger. Significant Risks at the Group Level Each year, risks that need to be prevented and addressed as special priorities are determined to be significant risks at the Group level. In addition to the results of risk assessment at the Group level, significant risks at the Group level are comprehensively determined and designated based on factors like the Group’s business strategy, legal and regulatory changes inside or outside the Group, changes in the operating environment, and information concerning the likelihood of a risk event occurring.BackgroundMeasuresDamage caused by natural disastersMany manufacturing plants in Japan are concentrated near the epicenter of the predicted Nankai Trough Megaquake, and measures must be taken to prepare for typhoons, localized torrential rains, and other natural disasters that far exceed previous assumptions.
