Disaster Risk Management System

At ORIX, we have established the Disaster Risk Management Rules, which define the basic principles, activities, and organizational framework for implementing risk management in preparation for unforeseen events such as natural disasters or accidents.
We define “disasters” as damages caused by natural phenomena such as earthquakes and typhoons, as well as terrorism, accidents, fires, and infectious diseases. To ensure clear and consistent responses, we have also developed the Disaster Response Manual and the Pandemic Response Manual (for new strains of influenza and similar infectious diseases).
In the event that offices are closed due to a disaster or outbreak of infectious disease, our employee safety confirmation system enables us to promptly verify the safety and status of employees. We have also built a hybrid work environment that combines remote work and in-office work, allowing employees to work safely and flexibly while ensuring business continuity during emergencies.
Specifically, in Japan, when an earthquake of seismic intensity 5 upper or higher occurs in a prefecture where employees live or work, we conduct an immediate safety confirmation. In addition, we carry out multiple safety confirmation drills each year. To prepare for a potential large-scale disaster affecting the Tokyo metropolitan area that could disable the Tokyo Head Office, we have designated the Osaka Head Office as the alternative disaster response headquarters and conduct drills to ensure efficient information gathering and coordination. Furthermore, all offices maintain emergency stockpiles—three days’ worth of food and drinking water per employee—to ensure readiness in case of emergencies.
