The Risk Management Committee convenes to make decisions related to risks.</p><p class="c-body">(1) Risk management: The Company identifies risks that could impact its achievement of the LY Corporation Group’s (the “Group”) mission and business goals and then analyzes these from two angles: (i) how severe the impact would be if the risk actually happens (i.e., how much it would affect the Company’s ability to achieve its goals), and (ii) the likelihood of the risk happening (i.e., how likely would it be to occur and how frequently). From this, the Company assesses the risk level based on impact × likelihood and prepares measures accordingly. Additionally, it identifies the top risks for the LY Corporation Group based on analyses of internal and external environments and the opinions of management and the personnel in charge. While bearing in mind the environmental impact, the Company reviews these top risks as needed, ranks them by priority level, and carries out and monitors the progress of measures.</p><p class="c-body">(2) Crisis management: In the event of an incident, the Company takes prompt and appropriate initial actions to prevent the situation from escalating and to quickly bring it under control, and considers measures to prevent recurrence.</p><p class="c-body">(3) Establishment of basic rules, plans and systems: The Company establishes policies, rules, regulations, and others to support the operation of ERM processes.</p><p class="c-body">(4) Risk intelligence activities: The Company collects and analyzes external information on matters such as the business environment and changes in social conditions, and shares the information with those engaged in risk management throughout the Group.</p><p class="c-body">(5) Fostering risk conscious culture and education: The Company communicates the importance of risk management as a top message to all employees. Additionally, it uses all available channels to raise awareness on risk management throughout the Group so that all personnel can engage in their daily activities with risk management in mind.</p><p class="c-body">(6) Information disclosure: The Company discloses the material risks of the LY Corporation Group and the status of its efforts to address them in a timely and appropriate manner through available channels.</p><picture class="c-image center"><img src="https://www.lycorp.co.jp/en/sustainability/f0cb832c05d0d4141a8f1d26400373f4220c7e01.png" alt="Diagram of the ERM Process. The company first takes on a risk management process to identify potential risks. The individual steps are written from left to right of the diagram, starting with the steps involved to perform a risk assessment. This includes an analysis of the internal environment, analysis of the external environment, identification of risks, and their evaluation. Risk assessment is followed by risk response, monitoring, and follow-ups. While the aim of risk management is to visualize potential risks, the crisis management process is undertaken to identify risks that have already materialized. The steps involved in crisis management are listed from left to right of the diagram, starting with incident response. This is followed by the establishment of an incident response team, damage control, and recovery, which are all implemented based on the company’s business continuity plan. Then, information disclosures are made through the securities report, company website, and so on. The entire enterprise risk management process is based on the following foundations: establishment of plans, systems, and basic rules such as policies and regulations; risk intelligence activities; and the education and fostering of a risk-conscious culture within the company."></picture><div class="c-vertical-link-list sp-viewmore"><div class="inner"><h4 class="heading">INDEX</h4> <ul><li><a class="c-icon-link" href="#anc1">ERM Structure</a></li><li><a class="c-icon-link" href="#anc7">Risk Management Structure of the LY Corporation Group</a></li><li><a class="c-icon-link" href="#anc8">Risk Categories</a></li><li><a class="c-icon-link" href="#anc9">Fostering Risk Conscious Culture within the LY Corporation Group</a></li><li><a class="c-icon-link" href="#anc10">Risk Management in Service Planning and Development</a></li><li><a class="c-icon-link" href="#anc2">Top Risks of the LY Corporation Group</a></li><li><a class="c-icon-link" href="#anc4">Critical Incident Response</a></li><li><a class="c-icon-link" href="#anc5">Business Continuity Plan (BCP)</a></li></ul></div> <button type="button"><span>VIEW more</span></button> </div><h2 class="c-h2" id="anc1">ERM Structure</h2><p class="c-body">LY Corporation establishes an ERM structure, designating the highest responsibilities to the President and Representative Director, and strives to reduce and prevent risks by smoothly implementing an ERM process The ISO31000 framework is used as an external guiding standard.</p><picture class="c-image center"><img src="https://www.lycorp.co.jp/en/sustainability/0db100778c485ff97047ac460e44977d4cd02485.png" alt="Diagram of the ERM Structure.
