Reflecting on the Disasters of 2024 [Environmental Measures VOL.12]

Looking back on the many memorable disasters that occurred in 2024, let's reconsider disaster preparedness.

The year 2024 began with the Noto Peninsula earthquake on January 1st, and it became a year marked by numerous memorable disasters, including heavy rains and heatstroke incidents due to record-breaking heat, particularly in Kyushu and the Tohoku region. First of all, I would like to express my heartfelt sympathy to all those affected, as well as to their families and related parties. I also extend my deep respect to everyone who is working hard to support the relief of victims and the recovery of disaster-stricken areas. I pray for the safety of those in affected regions and for a swift recovery. Over the past year, we have been distributing information related to labor safety and environmental safety in the form of white papers. This time, as a summary, I would like to reflect on the disasters of 2024 and reconsider the disaster measures we can take now.

We will explain the importance of soil contamination measures and appropriate countermeasures in two parts.

Modern companies are increasingly required to fulfill stricter regulations and social responsibilities from the perspective of environmental protection. Among these, "soil contamination measures" are particularly noteworthy. Soil contamination is often caused by corporate activities and not only leads to health hazards and environmental destruction but also carries the risk of significantly undermining a company's credibility. This document will explain the importance of soil contamination measures and appropriate responses, divided into two parts. In Part 1, we will provide basic knowledge about soil contamination and details of the Soil Contamination Countermeasures Act. By responding swiftly to soil contamination issues, it is possible to mitigate environmental risks and achieve sustainable management. We sincerely hope that you will contribute to environmental protection while fulfilling your social responsibilities as a company.

[Part 2 of the two-part structure] We will introduce actual cases of soil contamination and effective soil contamination countermeasures that we can tackle immediately.

In "Soil Contamination Measures Part 1," we provided basic knowledge about soil contamination and details about the Soil Contamination Countermeasures Act. In the second part of this white paper, "Soil Contamination Measures Part 2," we will introduce actual cases of health damage caused by soil contamination and effective soil contamination measures that we can take immediately. Soil contamination is recognized as part of environmental issues, but its effects are diverse and can pose significant risks to people's health. Based on past cases, we will explore what kinds of health damage have occurred and what measures have been effective, while seeking specific guidelines for actions to reduce the risks we face.

We will answer the question, "How should companies prepare for flood prevention?" Now, before the rainy season begins, let's prepare for typhoons and heavy rain.

Flood damage poses a significant risk to businesses. In recent years, the damage caused by floods and heavy rains has increased, greatly impacting corporate performance and sustainability. For example, the damage from the heavy rains in western Japan in July 2018 and Typhoon No. 19 in October 2019 is still fresh in our memories, making it important to learn from these cases. Every time we see news of corporate facilities such as offices, warehouses, factories, and stores suffering from flooding, many stakeholders may worry, "Is our company going to be okay?" Measures against flood damage have become extremely important for business continuity. To address the question of "How should companies implement flood damage measures?", we will introduce the basics of flood countermeasures in two parts. Now, before the rainy season begins, let’s prepare for typhoons and heavy rains.

We will outline a path for companies to become resilient to flooding and provide specific methods to minimize risks.

The rainy season has fully set in, but are you adequately prepared for flood damage? In "Flood Damage Countermeasures During the Rainy Season Part 2," we will outline the path for companies to become resilient against floods and provide specific methods to minimize risks. In Part 1, we explained the recent occurrences of flooding, the use of hazard maps for flood prediction, and securing evacuation routes. In Part 2, we will focus on the types and quantities of supplies needed during a disaster, how to formulate a Business Continuity Plan (BCP), and advanced initiatives. We hope that by sharing know-how for immediate and appropriate responses during disasters, we can help protect your company's safety.
