Transition (1.5°C and 2℃ scenarios) | Technology | Advances in low-carbon technologies | Our main customers are in the automotive industry, which requires us to provide engineers who can develop products related to low-carbon technologies. If we are slower than our competitors to respond to these technologies, our engineers’ skills may be considered obsolete and the demand for the dispatch of engineers may shrink, resulting in decreased sales. If new technologies need to be incorporated, costs for information gathering and training may increase. | Large | A low-carbon society may be promoted, which will lead to an increase in the demand for products using low-carbon technologies. In such a case, our sales may increase due to an increased demand for the dispatch of engineers to our existing clients and new clients. | Large | Disclosed in

Market | Change in demand for important products | Our main customers are in the automotive
industry, which requires us to provide
engineers who can develop products related
to low-carbon technologies. If we are slower
than our competitors to respond to these
technologies, our engineers’ skills may be
considered obsolete and the demand for the
dispatch of engineers may shrink, resulting in
decreased sales. If new technologies need to be incorporated, costs for information gathering and training may increase. |
Medium | Since the Company’s main customers belong to the
automotive industry, actively attracting engineers
who can deal with the design and development
processes that support the shift to zero-emission
vehicles (ZEVs) may lead to increased demand for
the dispatch of engineers, which could result in
higher sales. The advancement of low-carbon technologies has accelerated the speed of development of the low-carbon business. Enhancing our recruitment and training systems as well as our services to meet the increasing number of requests from clients could lead to increased sales. If extreme weather conditions increase, along with a rising demand for seasonal products such as air conditioning products that can deal with higher/lower outdoor temperatures, this may lead to the manufacturers’ increased demand for the development of HVAC equipment, resulting in growing demands for the dispatching of engineers and increased sales. |

Reputation | Change in reputation from customers | The momentum for decarbonization is growing throughout the supply chain. Clients may require their suppliers to reduce emissions and disclose relevant information. In particular, the automotive industry, which accounts for a major part of our customer base, is making much progress in this area than other industries. If our efforts are deemed insufficient, there is a risk that our reputation will be damaged, leading to a decrease in sales. In addition, significant costs may be required to address these issues. | Large | As the entire supply chain of the automotive industry is making an effort to reduce emissions, if we become recognized as a leader in addressing climate change issues, this could lead to increased sales. | Large | Disclosed in

Physical impact (4℃ scenario) | Acute | Intensifying extreme weather events (typhoons, torrential rains, landslides, storm surges, etc.) | If our clients are adversely affected by increased natural disasters causing operation downtime, etc., our sales may decrease due to reduced demand for engineers as a result of R&D budget cutbacks. Also, in the event that our offices and training facilities are affected by such disasters, costs for recovery and relocation may be incurred. | Large | − | Disaster Prevention Manual | Formulate a BCP in preparation for the potential occurrence of natural disasters | − | |
Chronic | Increased average temperature | Rising average temperatures will increase the use of air conditioning, which may increase costs at all our business and training facilities. | Small | If rising outdoor temperatures increase the need for safer and more comfortable indoor temperatures, the manufacturers’ demand for developing HVAC equipment will increase, which may result in an increased demand for the dispatching of our engineers and increased sales. | Medium | Disclosed in
