SustainabilitySafety and Security / Barrier-Free Accessibility
Safety and security are the lifeline of our hotels. In our Group, we are promoting various initiatives under the guidance of the Risk Management Committee, including infectious disease countermeasures, food hygiene, disaster countermeasures, and crime prevention measures.
Risk Management Structure
Establishment of Risk Management Committee
Chaired by the President, the Risk Management Committee was established in 2003. Besides reporting on internal controls and various safety management systems, the committee discusses how to respond to new risk events in response to domestic and international situations.
Establishment of Food Safety & Trust Committee
Established in 2008 for the purpose of protecting and maintaining food safety and trust Group-wide, the Food Safety and Trust Committee is responsible for thorough implementation of measures against food poisoning, food safety and hygiene, allergy accident prevention, food labeling management, and pest control.
Development of manuals and conducting drills for Disaster and Terrorism Countermeasures, etc.
To respond promptly to disasters such as earthquakes, fires, floods, terrorist acts, and infrastructure outages, we have prepared various manuals and conducted company-wide and divisional drills, as well as periodic reviews of manuals.
In addition, the number of employees certified in first aid has been increased to protect the lives of our guests and employees.
Disaster Prevention Countermeasures for the entire community
Imperial Hotel Tokyo concluded an agreement with Chiyoda Ward in 2013 to accept travelers who have difficulty returning home.
In 2021, Imperial Hotel Osaka concluded a tripartite agreement with Osaka Prefecture and Osaka City regarding the acceptance of travelers in the event of a large-scale disaster.

We are promoting barrier-free accessibility so that guests with disabilities can experience a comfortable stay at our hotels. In addition to improving the environment in terms of facilities, we are addressing both the hardware and software aspects through employee training and study sessions by employees with disabilities.
