BackgroundPlanDoActCheck76The Yamaha Motor Group is working on risk management, crisis management, and business continuity as follows. Fundamental Approach to Risk Management To carry out risk management, Yamaha Motor has established and operates an appropriate organizational structure and set of rules, as well as engages in risk-reduction activities. As part of regular preven-tion efforts, divisions responsible for risk prevention and mitigation are clarified, countermeasures for risks the Group should respond to Risk Management Structure Based on the Rules of Risk Management, the Company’s risk manage-ment structure is led by the Sustainability Committee and its subordi-nate council, the Sustainability Promotion Meeting, which comprises the risk management supervisory sections and divisions charged with risk management. The Sustainability Committee, chaired by the presi-dent and chief executive officer, monitors risks on a Groupwide basis. The risks that need to be actively prevented and addressed as special priorities are designated as significant risks at the Group level. In addition to Groupwide risk assessments, these are comprehensively judged and selected based on the Group’s business strategies, legal and regulatory changes inside or outside the Group, information concerning changes in the operating environment or the likelihood of a risk event, or other developments. Accordingly, activities to address risks are checked and other measures taken to reduced risk on a Groupwide basis. Risk Management Activity Cycle Risk management activities are promoted through the repetition of the PDCA cycle as detailed on the right. The Yamaha Motor Group has prepared a risk management ledger of all risks that need to be cov-ered. Each risk is evaluated while judging the level of impact and possibility of occurrence, and risk response action plans are developed for risks that need to be addressed. The progress of these responses is monitored over a six-month period and an annual summary of activi-ties to address risks is compiled at the end of the fiscal year in an effort to reduce risks. Significant Risks at the Group Level in 2021 This risk was selected because the Group has experienced a pandemic with COVID-19.
