Customer Satisfaction

Earning BS25999-2:2007 certification

For the purpose of offering further reassurance to stake holders, DISCO obtained certification under the BS25999-2:2007* Business Continuity Management System (BCMS) Standard on December 17, 2008. DISCO has thus become the first business in the Japanese semiconductor industry to earn this certification (according to the certification institute, SGS Japan).

What is BCMS?
BCMS is an abbreviation for Business Continuity Management System. It is a system to maintain and continuously improve BCM.
DISCO has established and is operating BCMS in order to realize two purposes-"to be a company with whom customers feel confident doing business" and "to be a company where employees feel confident working".

What is BS25999-2:2007?
BS25999-2:2007 is a standard written by BSI to ensure business continuity management (BCM). Its objective is to enable businesses to continue and quickly recover should a latent threat to an enterprise’s business continuity (such as natural disasters, e.g., earthquakes or typhoons, as well as outbreaks of new strains of influenza or other infectious disease, acts of terrorism, or system failures) become a reality.

BCMS initial range of application
Registered entities	:	DISCO Corporation Head Office, Kure Plant, Kuwabata Plant
Scope of certificate registration	:	Production and supply of precision processing tools (ZH series dicing blades, grinding wheels)
		- Because precision processing tools are frequently-replaced consumables, any stoppage in their supply would have a major impact on production at customer factories. Therefore, these product items were chosen for the initial range of application. In the future, we plan to expand the range of our BCMS compliance by degrees and steadily increase our level of business continuity.
