Our Mission
Risk Management adapting to the times.
The scenarios of risks that organizations face today range from natural disasters, to credit or debt-related risks, and cybersecurity risks.
“Risk Management” refers to strategies and techniques to avoid risks in the course of having a successful business. It is one of the essential
factors for modern business operations.
By adapting to changing times, we are committed to solving our
customers' issues using our strength in risk control planning and
implementation.
Risk Management adapting to the times.
Disaster risks surrounding businesses have become more complex and massive, with concerns that disasters may occur more frequently than before. This comes from various factors such as the expansion of people's spheres of activities, technological innovations in various fields, increased diversification and globalization of businesses, and climate change.
While there are many different stories about the origin of insurance, a mechanism of pooling money for
unforeseen circumstances to mitigate conceivable damage had already existed before the term “insurance” is coined. This basic concept of mutual cooperation in phases of disaster recovery is surely passed down today while factors affecting insurance are becoming more complicated.
Staying conscious of the basic concept of insurance as aforesaid, we would like to work together with our
customers to find out, propose and implement the best possible solution to address conceivable risks. More specifically, we may propose to take out insurance, set up an insurance facility, arrange reinsurance, or utilize other risk control techniques.
