[As of December 26, 2023]

We, at the CRESCO Group, study risks and identify important risks in order to build a system for preventing expansion of damage and keeping any damage to a minimum. Regulations for Risk Management have been formulated to secure a system for preventing the risks identified and responding to such risks if they become apparent and for establishing a risk management system for each responsible department. We have a company-wide risk management system in place where the responsible department is assigned for each risk category, a plan containing specific response measures is developed by giving priority to important risks, and coordination with the Internal Control Committee is made. In addition, each group company formulates its own risk management rules by taking into account the respective business activities, characteristics, risks and other factors.
With adequate understanding of the importance of managing business risks, etc., we face, efforts are made to ensure proper risk management by reinforcing our systems, increasing sophistication of control methods and controlling each risk so as to ensure management soundness and increase earnings power.
