Initiatives in High Water-Risk Areas（FY2023） | Resource Circulation -Water- | Environmental | Sustainability

Water Risk Fact-finding Survey

For those business sites that have been evaluated as high risk, we conduct annual interviews to ascertain the impact of water shortages and flooding on operations and the frequency of their occurrence, and to learn about examples of the countermeasures being implemented.
The results of the interviews conducted in fiscal 2023 indicated that there were no issues with production or operations identified at any business site, and no potential water risks were observed.
However, business sites reported proactive environmental protection actions, such as the implementation of voluntary initiatives to reduce water usage, engagement with stakeholders to reduce water consumption, and participating in water resource conservation activities led by public institutions.
