Meiko has created a set of Crisis Management Regulations, and also BCP Basic Policy and Emergency Manual thereunder, which assume a variety of risks associated with environments,disasters, quality and information security. We have also created a Business Continuity Plan(BCP) for each of our factories to minimize impact on the customer’s production plan in preparation for emergencies. As a measure to prevent information related crises, we have set up a server at the Yamagata Factory as well as at Headquarters and we constantly back up our data to the additional server. In the event of a disaster or accident, we will immediately set up an Emergency Headquarters led by the President & CEO, and we have prepared an organization to determine the cause,assess the situation and take comprehensive future measures, to quickly cope with risk and prevent reoccurrence.
In the unlikely event of a disaster or accident, we will quickly establish an Emergency Response Headquarters, headed by the President and CEO, to investigate the cause, grasp the situation, and take comprehensive measures such as future countermeasures, thereby quickly dealing with risks and preventing recurrence.

Risk Management

Many risks could potentially affect the Meiko’s operating environment, including risks of natural disasters such as earthquakes and tsunamis, changes in the management environment such as currency fluctuations and changes in macroeconomic conditions, and country risk at overseas bases relating to politics, economics, and infrastructure.Meiko has created the Business Continuity Plan (BCP) for each site in preparation for emergencies. These plans describe various measures against relevant risk factors,ranging from a consideration of risk prevention measures to post-disaster recovery work. We also reinforce our risk management system through ERM (Enterprise Risk Management) activities.

Building a Group BCP

At Meiko, we conduct business impact analyses for various risks and create manuals for recovery time objectives (RTO) and emergency initial response system simulations for each base. We will continue to review our BCP on a regular basis, and will also conduct simulation training to ensure its implementation, prepare equipment, and raise employee awareness.

Introduction of employee safety confirmation system

We have introduced a "Safety Confirmation System" for all employees of domestic group companies and overseas expatriates, with the aim of confirming the safety of employees in the affected areas and communicating information in the event of an earthquake with a seismic intensity of lower 5 or higher, or other disasters or accidents. We regularly conduct company-wide drills to ensure that the system can be used effectively in the event of a disaster.
