Approach and structure
The Director and General Manager of the Corporate Division serves as the Chief Risk Management Officer and chairs the Risk Management Committee, which is composed of Furuya Metal’s directors and general managers. The committee monitors and oversees the Company’s overall risk management activities.
We define risks in the areas of operations, finance, legal compliance, labor, disasters, and environmental issues as those that could result in physical, economic, or reputational losses. These risks are identified and assessed based on their likelihood and potential impact, with appropriate measures implemented for material risks. Going forward, we will continue to strengthen and refine our risk management framework to ensure its effectiveness and resilience.

Business Continuity Planning (BCP) initiatives
Furuya Metal has established a Basic Business Continuity Plan to ensure the continuation of business operations in the event of major foreseeable risks, such as large-scale earthquakes, fires, or infectious disease outbreaks. The plan is designed to safeguard the safety of employees and their families while maintaining the Company’s operational capabilities.
To fulfill our responsibilities as a supplier, we adhere to the following fundamental BCP principles and implement appropriate measures to sustain business operations during emergencies:
- Give top priority to ensuring the safety of employees and their families and confirming their well-being
- Strive for the earliest possible restoration of product supply and fulfill our commitments to customers
- Cooperate with local communities and neighboring companies in rescue and recovery activities
Information security
Furuya Metal has established a Basic Information Security Policy to maintain and enhance information security across the organization. In accordance with this policy, we manage the Company’s information assets, as well as information entrusted to us by external parties, in a manner that protects them from a wide range of potential threats and ensures their proper handling.

Export control framework
Given that Furuya Metal handles products and materials critical to advanced manufacturing — including semiconductors, electronic components, and medical devices — the Company has established an export control framework to ensure strict compliance with export regulations aimed at maintaining international security.
In this framework, the President acts as the Chief Executive for export control.
For each export transaction, the Company conducts a rigorous internal review in accordance with its Export Control Regulations. This includes classifying products to determine whether they are subject to export controls, as well as reviewing the intended use and screening end users and customers to confirm that there are no concerns.
