Analysis of water risk, response measures, and identification of priority areas
We conducted an assessment to determine the water risk at the location of each office of our Group companies. Note: This assessment was conducted in March 2025.
| Number of Offices | Percentage of total offices | Japan | 4 | 66.6.% | US | 1 | 16.6% | India | 1 | 16.6% |
For analysis, we referenced the Water Risk Atlas tool provided by the World Resources Institute (WRI). The WRI periodically checks items related to water, such as overall water risk, water stress risk, and future risk.

Overall water risk
| Number of offices | Percentage of total offices | Breakdown by country | Extremely High (4-5) | 1 | 16.6% | India | High (3-4) | Medium - High (2-3) | Low - Medium (1-2) | 5 | 83.3% | Japan:4, US:1 | Low (0-1) | No data | Total | 6 | 100.0% |
Of the 6 offices assessed, Japan offices made up the majority at 66.6% with 4 offices and accounted for 76.7% of domestic sales in FY2024.6. Our 4 Japan locations and 1 US location are considered "Low–Medium (1–2)" risk. Overall, the risk is recognized as low with minimal impact on business. However, many of our Japan locations are situated along the coast, so there are potential risks such as flooding and storm surges.
One location in India is considered “High” risk for water stress risk. This location has a high population density and the risk of drought and water scarcity, and is recognized as requiring special attention. The scope of this risk is as follows.
| Effect of locations assessed as High (40–80%) risk or higher on business | Percentage of group sales in FY2024.6 | 1 location in 1 country in total | 0.0% |
Going forward, we will strive to implement water saving measures and smart usage initiatives at each of our Group locations to mitigate water-related risks and ensure the continuity of our business.
Water saving targets
We will monitor how much water we use each year and set water resource targets to maximize the effective use of water resources going forward.
