Transition Risks |
- Product supply will become difficult as a result of the prohibition of certain substances and technologies due to regulatory changes. | H | L | - RA/QA divisions have been set at each regional headquarters, and dedicated staff respond to the laws and regulations of each country. |
- Transition to materials and technologies with low environmental impact, including reduction in use of plastics, will add to R&D costs and CapEx. | M | L | - Product and technology development based on hospital laboratory requirements as well as market and industry trends. | |
- Energy and raw material costs will increase. | M | L | - Energy saving measures and greater efficiency of equipment have been introduced. - We have introduced renewable energy. |
|
- Changes in customers’environmental awareness will lead to criticism of the environmental impact of our products and reduce demand. | L | L | - We have established a system that utilizes customer feedback for product development and quality improvement (VOC: Voice of the Customer). | |
Physical Risks |
- Large natural disasters will make it difficult to provide a stable supply of products and services. | M | H | - We have formulated a business continuity plan (BCP) to disperse risks such as those associated with raw material supply, supply systems, and transportation routes. |
- Regional shortages of water due to drought will disrupt stable supply of product. | L | M | - We are reducing the risk by periodically monitoring water-related risks and establishing BCPs. |
