5. The Function of “Fukushima Koriyama LL Town” for Fukuda and Partners

（1）Fukuda and Partners’ BCP (Business Continuity Plan)
Based on the assessment that the risk of simultaneous disasters in Tokyo and Sendai is extremely low, Sendai was selected as the alternative location for headquarters functions. Koriyama was chosen as the second BCP base due to its low disaster risk and location evaluation, which allows for multiple choices of wide-area disaster prevention cooperation and goods transportation functions. The opening of the ‘Fukushima Koriyama LL Town Building’ will leverage Yamato Transport’s logistics network to expand the BCP disaster support coverage area to our West Japan Division (Chuo Ward, Osaka City) and Central Japan Division (Nakamura Ward, Nagoya City), strengthening the supply system for relief goods to our employees.
