Risk Management

Penta-Ocean Construction Group shall take appropriate, timely, and continuous measures to cope with various risks that may arise in the course of our business operations. We strive to prevent the occurrence of such risks and if such risks do occur, we shall endeavor to minimize losses that may affect our overall management.

Our company has formed the Risk Management Committee under the CSR Committee, chaired by the Representative Director and the President. The Committee takes the initiative in managing various risks, such as compliance risks inherent in the company, information risks, business continuity plan (BCP), and large-scale disaster risks. Also, the Committee determines the department in charge according to the risk category to promote risk management. Furthermore, in April 2010, our group implemented the concept of group risk management to strengthen risk management of the Group companies.
By identifying and classifying risks in advance, we have established Risk Management System that enables us to promptly respond according to the type of risk that actually arises. As a result, we will be able to minimize the damage caused by risks, even in the event of unexpected risks. By reviewing the results of our risk management efforts, we will be aware of and prepared for new risks.
Also, in the event of a major risk situation, the Committee establishes a Risk Response Headquarters, headed by the representative director. If a major incident that threatens the continuity of business activities occurs, a BCP Headquarters will be established. If a major work-related accident occurs, a Crisis Response Headquarters will be established, and if a natural disaster occurs, a Disaster Response Headquarters will be established.

Appropriate management of intellectual property is essential in the development of our business activities.
We promote application for rights in a timely manner in line with business expansion, investigate infringements of rights by others, and respond to such infringements in accordance with relevant laws and regulations. On the other hand, we conduct strict surveys to ensure that we do not infringe on the rights of others in terms of technological development, including industrial property rights. In this context, we established an organizational structure and rules to respect the intellectual property rights of third parties.
