JGC does not have production facilities such as plants, and it conducts its business with offices, employees and a sophisticated IT infrastructure. Consequently, JGC's Business Continuity Plan (BCP) consists of three pillars: (1) Early confirmation of employee safety, (2) securing of office safety, and (3) securing of IT infrastructure. |

|
(1) Early confirmation of employee safety
In 2004, in advance of many other companies, JGC introduced a Safety Confirmation System for its employees. At present, the scope of the system has been extended to include not only regular employees, but also temporary staff and contract employees who work at JGC. In addition, for a quick confirmation of employee safety, an emergency liaison network has been established as a backup in each department.
(2) Securing of office safety
In 1997, JGC transferred its office to a new building located in the Minato Mirai district of Yokohama. The new building was designed in compliance with the latest earthquake resistance standards, using simulations of the tremors of the 1995 Great Hanshin-Awaji Earthquake. Stockpiles of food and supplies are also kept on hand at all times, to provide additional support and security for workers at the Yokohama office in the event of an emergency.
(3) Securing of IT infrastructure
In 2006, JGC was the first company in the Japanese engineering industry to obtain ISO certification (ISO 27001) for its information security management systems. Server operation and management, user authentication management, Internet operation and management including e-mail, management of communications infrastructure such as LAN/WAN, and other components of our IT infrastructure are tested through emergency drills every year, and they benefit from feedback to constantly evolve while supporting our business.

JGC employees and executives make approximately 3,500 overseas business trips per year, and with approximately 300 JGC personnel living overseas at any one time, in about 20 different countries. JGC has established a Security Management Section available on a 24-7 basis to cope immediately with any risks employees stationed overseas might face, including political turmoil, war, terrorism, kidnapping, accident, and sickness.
 The Security Management Section has two operating patterns: Crisis Management Operation and Preventive Operation, as follows. |
|
| |
|
(1) Crisis Management Operation
A range of measures is implemented upon determination of risk level in a given area, based on the Basic Rules for Risk Management.
* Examples: business trip cancellation, temporary evacuation, etc.
(2) Preventive Operation
1) Collection and communication of risk information: issuance of situation-specific reminders and warnings
* Methods: company intranet and e-mail messages to individual employees
2) Personnel stationed overseas and persons on business trips: coverage through the Business Trip Management System
3) Safety education for personnel bound for risky areas
4) Creation of manuals, guidelines and security standards |
