We define "risk" as the "possibility of losses due to the occurrence of anticipated or unanticipated situations" and as the "possibility of not achieving the expected return on business activities." We have set the following three items as the purpose for our risk management activities.
• Stabilize Performance:
Minimize discrepancies between the plan and the actual results to secure stable profits
• Strengthen Financial Base:
Maintain Risk-adjusted Assets within the buffer (shareholders' equity) to ensure that a risk will pose no problem for the continuance of the enterprise when it materializes
• Maintain Corporate Reputation:
Fulfill compliance and other CSR requirements and preserve corporate reputation
