Recognizing the importance of supplying single-source products globally, the Dexerials Group is expanding the scope of its Business Continuity Plan (BCP) to an all-hazards BCM^＊1, anticipating diverse risks such as natural disasters, geopolitical risks, pandemics, and cyberattacks. We will revise the Occupational Health and Safety Policy in fiscal 2025, aiming to establish a BCM that integrates disaster prevention measures with the BCP, with the goal of creating a system capable of responding to various risks by fiscal 2028.

• *1BCM: Business Continuity Management

The Dexerials Group periodically conducts drills to strengthen its BCP, designing different incident scenarios each time to verify effectiveness. Having established a remote working environment, we are also enhancing collaboration across sites.
In fiscal 2024, we began developing BCM in conjunction with the strengthening of our production base under Mid-Term Plan, through a concerted effort by management and frontline teams. By clarifying the recovery time objective (RTO) for each business model, we are enhancing our ability to respond in the event of an incident. Moreover, to prepare for natural disasters and geopolitical risks, we have implemented informationｰsharing tools at our sites both within and outside Japan, and are reinforcing the communications infrastructure through redundancy, including satellite communications equipment and emergency communications networks.
Furthermore, Dexerials Photonics Solutions Corporation (DXPS), a new Group company, also conducted a BCP drill, identified issues with initial response and information-sharing systems, and rolled out improvement measures across the Group to enhance business continuity.
The Dexerials Group will continue to develop and operate an all-hazards BCP that can respond to various risks, improve the effectiveness of the BCP, protect management resources, and ensure a stable supply of products.

The Dexerials Group periodically conducts drills to strengthen its BCP, designing different incident scenarios each time to verify their effectiveness. In fiscal 2024, we conducted a BCP drill together with DXPS, which newly joined the Group.
To prepare for natural disasters and geopolitical risks, we have implemented information-sharing tools at our sites in Japan and globally, and are reinforcing our communications infrastructure through redundancy, including satellite communications equipment and emergency communications networks.
Going forward, we will continue to enhance the effectiveness of our BCP through close collaboration between management and frontline teams, and work to protect management resources and ensure a stable supply of products by strengthening our ability to respond to a wide range of risks.

BCP training

• Emergency drills

In a disaster or emergency, it is necessary to respond quickly and appropriately to prevent or mitigate human casualties and secondary disasters. We conduct drills for all employees every year, and did so even amid the COVID-19 pandemic, to improve our disaster prevention system and enhance our response capabilities. Those drills include fire extinguishing and evacuation drills, comprehensive disaster drills for earthquake simulation, and safety confirmation drills using the safety confirmation system. Stockpiles and disaster supplies are stored and managed at each site in anticipation of people having difficulty returning home in a disaster. The storage information is centrally managed and shared to enable mutual support between sites. A system is in place to quickly dispatch emergency instructions and communications to employees, such as to stay at home or come to work, through the safety confirmation system.
