At the Oji Group, we have formulated a BCP*1 for each COMPANY to respond to an emergency when a risk associated with business execution arises. Reviewing it as necessary, we also engage in BCM*2. In the event of a serious incident to be addressed by the overall Group, we establish the Group Emergency Headquarters to confirm the safety of employees, check the damage suffered, and take prompt measures to continue supplying products to our customers.
We have established the Group Disaster Control Office as a permanent organization to prepare for disasters such as fire, earthquake, storm, and flood. We have formulated rules on the reporting of disaster and accident information, establishing a system enabling us to obtain the latest information promptly. We also share information on disasters that occurred within the Group promptly to work on recurrence prevention measures. By holding a regular-Disaster Prevention Committee, and conducting a large-scale safety confirmation drill using a safety confirmation system and disaster prevention drill at each workplace site , we work to raise employees’ awareness of disaster prevention and strengthen disaster prevention measures.
Oji Group companies have production bases nationwide ranging from Hokkaido to Kyushu. While proceeding with consolidating production bases to enhance competitiveness, we consider risk diversification to continue business. In addition, to continue production, we procure raw materials from several companies in principle and ensure flexible procurements such as diversified sources.
Production bases of the Oji Group in Japan explore risks of earthquakes, heavy rain, typhoon, and other natural disasters, and implement measures against them, using local hazard maps to simulate the occurrence of disasters such as floods and landslides. For example, we have strengthened waterproofing measures for electric rooms to avoid stoppage of plant/mill operation over a long period of time. We also actively roll out useful measures to other companies in the Group.
In recent years, we strengthen not only measures within the Group but also collaboration with locals to prepare for increasing natural disasters. Currently we have concluded a total of 163 disaster prevention agreements with local governments across Japan. In the occurrence of a disaster, we provide corrugated beds and other various types of corrugated products, and also jointly conduct a drill of setting up an evacuation center. We provide a wide variety of support including infection prevention measures.
The Oji Group carries on production activities to maintain social life worldwide by supplying the corrugated containers and folding carton products that support logistics services, hygiene materials such as tissue paper, toilet rolls and face masks as well as printing and communication paper that conveys information.
