Principal Risks and Countermeasures

In order to achieve our business objectives, we regularly identify, assess and monitor risks according to group-wide standards. This enables us to better understand the nature of the world we operate in and make better informed management decisions, ensuring we continue to generate value for our stakeholders.

The LIXIL group regularly monitors strategic and operational risks and implements countermeasures at all levels of the business in order to manage them. In addition, the Audit Committee monitors whether effective measures are being taken to address high-priority risks through participation in the Board of Directors and other committees.
