Nihon Techseed Achieves Disaster Management Excellence in Tokyo
In a significant achievement, Nihon Techseed, headquartered in Chuo City, Tokyo, has been officially recognized as a distinguished company in disaster management by the Tokyo Metropolitan Government through its Disaster Management Leader certification program. This accolade reflects the company's ongoing commitment to ensuring employee safety and promoting disaster preparedness initiatives.
On February 9, 2026, during a ceremony hosted by the Tokyo Metropolitan Government, Nihon Techseed was honored with an award. The evaluation criteria for this recognition highlighted the company’s unique visualization system that accelerates disaster location identification, even in hybrid work and free-address environments. Additionally, the deployment of comprehensive evacuation guide videos across the organization contributed to this commendation.
Overview of the Disaster Management Leader Certification Program
The Disaster Management Leader certification program established by the Tokyo Metropolitan Government aims to register and harness internal leaders who promote organizational disaster prevention measures. The objective is to commend companies that demonstrate exceptional efforts in this area. Nihon Techseed has always prioritized the safety of its employees during disasters and has actively worked on enhancing their preparedness and awareness.
Key Evaluation Points for Certification
1.
Enhancing Employee Awareness Through Leadership and Multimedia Training
The Business Continuity Management (BCM) committee played a pivotal role in establishing a framework that assigns responsibilities to department and site leaders. Two members from the management team achieved disaster management certifications, boosting the company's expertise. Six registered Disaster Management Leaders, including site leaders, have been instrumental in fostering a company-wide culture of disaster preparedness. Posters and training sessions utilizing insights from the BCM committee were transformed into an all-company evacuation guidebook. Furthermore, training materials were adapted into video format, ensuring that new and mid-career hires receive timely and effective safety orientations.
2.
The Innovative Visualization System for Hybrid Work
Addressing the challenges of disaster location identification in hybrid work scenarios, Nihon Techseed developed its proprietary visualization system. This system quickly distinguishes between remote and in-office employees, aiding initial responses during emergencies. Anticipating the needs of visitors and temporary evacuees, the company has stockpiled resources for 10% more than their estimated office capacity for three days, including food, water, portable toilets, and disaster helmets. These supplies are managed in a dispersed manner, with individual distribution sets prepared for daily needs. The company regularly conducts tabletop exercises based on hypothetical scenarios to maintain and enhance preparedness protocols.
The assessment recognized not just the structural improvements but the integration of systems, operations, and education in promoting a comprehensive disaster management evolution. Nihon Techseed is committed to further enhancing its disaster preparedness and fulfilling its corporate social responsibilities while contributing to the development of resilient business practices.
