Mizuno’s Risks and Opportunities
Should there be compliance violations by employees, such as corruption and bribery, or infringements by suppliers, it can lead to severe damage to the company’s reputation and have significant negative impacts on the business activities. Furthermore, we recognize the infringement of third-party intellectual property rights, the expansion of cybercrime, and cybersecurity incidents as risks that could potentially threaten the continuity of our business. We are committed to responsible business practices as we strive to create sustainable corporate value through building trust with our stakeholders.
