The Great East Japan Earthquake of March 2011 forced the Renesas Electronics Group to halt production at eight sites, including the Naka Factory, one of our main manufacturing sites. With help from people outside the Group, we were able to get all damaged factories back online by September. I would like to take this space to sincerely thank all those who assisted in our recovery.

As for our post-recovery initiatives, the Group has a social responsibility to provide customers with a stable supply of products, no matter the situation. Thus we have revised our business continuity plans (BCPs) based on lessons learned from the earthquake.

Specifically, we are bolstering our previous initiatives by 1) seismically reinforcing our production plants so they are sturdy enough to recover promptly after disaster (to be completed by the first half of 2013) and 2) building alternate production networks to maintain a continuous supply of products, even in emergencies such as production stoppages. We are also working vigorously to 3) reduce risk by sharing risk information with customers and cooperating with them. This means that we aim to share inventory and other information with customers and work with them on business risk reduction measures
