Overall Risk Awareness for FY2026<\/h5>\n

For FY2026, the Risk Management Committee recognizes the following as overall risks.<\/p>\n

\n

1. Risk of geopolitical fragmentation in energy and logistics<\/p>\n

    \n
  • Conflict involving Iran \u2192 heightened risk of closure of the Strait of Hormuz \u2192 sharp increases in crude oil and natural gas prices, longer lead times due to the avoidance of Middle East shipping routes, and higher logistics costs<\/li>\n
  • Higher manufacturing costs, failure to meet delivery deadlines due to logistics delays, and supply chain disruptions<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    2. Forced realignment of supply chains toward friend-shoring<\/p>\n

      \n
    • Dysfunction of the free trade system \u2192 economic security becoming a management priority<\/li>\n
    • Against the backdrop of U.S.-China tensions and risks in the Middle East, a shift from efficiency (just-in-time) to resilience (just-in-case), leading to increased capital investment aimed at reducing dependence on specific countries and regions, including China and unstable areas in and around the Middle East<\/li>\n
    • Costs of complying with export controls and sanctions imposed by the United States and other countries<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      3. Risk of sticky inflation and interest rate volatility<\/p>\n

        \n
      • Renewed increases in energy prices fueling global inflation once again<\/li>\n
      • Imported inflation caused by the combined impact of higher energy prices and a weaker yen, higher financing costs due to uncertainty surrounding interest rate policies in Japan and the United States, and higher fixed costs due to upward pressure on wages<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

        \n
        Information Security<\/h5>\n

        The Hodogaya Chemical Group recognizes that keeping company information classified and ensuring information security are the basics in business and one of our social responsibilities.
        We have established Information Security Policy in which the appropriate acquisition, use, disclosure, and management of information, information protection activities, security measures, and compliance with applicable laws and regulations, including the Unfair Competition Prevention Act and regulations on insider trading, are specified.
        Also, we conduct training for all personnel to increase their awareness of information security.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

        To protect what is common sense at Hodogaya Chemical Group<\/div>\n

        As a member of the IT Planning and Administration Department, I am involved in not only maintaining and operating systems but also raising employees\u2019 awareness of information security. Not simply relying on systems countermeasures, we regularly provide information and work to maintain and raise awareness by conducting annual practical training using simulated phishing emails so that each person views information security as something that involves them. In addition, we try to create an environment that makes it possible to promptly respond to events, including emergencies, by making it easy for people to consult and seek advice even regarding minor points during routine operations. We will implement various initiatives with the goal of further improving information security, which supports the Hodogaya Chemical Group\u2019s business activities.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
