Newton Consulting Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo; President: Kazuya Soejima), specializing in risk management consulting, will start providing the 'Risk Appetite Framework (RAF) Support Service' on April 28, 2026.
This service supports the construction of a decision-making mechanism that enables 'aggressive' management by clarifying the risks a company can tolerate or should actively take.
1. Background of Service Release
Currently, with the mandatory disclosure of sustainability information (SSBJ standards) approaching, companies are required to have more sophisticated risk management. However, in reality, many companies are in a dilemma where they miss growth opportunities due to excessive avoidance, perceiving risk as something to be 'minimized,' or leading to fraud and incidents due to a gap between management and the frontline.
To win in fierce global competition, it is essential to clarify the 'total amount and type of risk to be actively accepted within a tolerance range = Risk Appetite' rather than simply avoiding risk. The Risk Appetite Framework (RAF) is a framework for sharing and monitoring such management intentions across the entire organization.
However, to make RAF function effectively, high implementation skills are required to translate the risk appetite defined by management into specific judgment criteria that can be used on the frontline. Therefore, we have released this service to promote appropriate risk-taking throughout the organization through the construction of RAF and support the realization of 'aggressive' management.
2. Features of the Service
- Concrete translation and facilitation to turn 'Management Language' into 'Frontline Action Standards'
We support the design of clear threshold settings so that high-level statements are translated into judgment criteria that can be used in daily operations.
- Deep knowledge in non-financial areas (sustainability/human capital)
We evaluate risks in various categories such as brand, human rights, supply chain, and climate change both quantitatively and qualitatively, integrating them into the appetite framework.
- Accompanying implementation approach to realize 'ERM like breathing'
We design how to incorporate RAF into the client's existing meeting bodies and approval processes. We commit to 'cultivating a culture' where management and the frontline can speak the same language about risk.
3. Support Scope and Steps (Example)
The standard flow includes: Phase 1: Preparation and understanding of current status; Phase 2: Risk appetite definition; Phase 3: Threshold setting and process design; Phase 4: Integration and monitoring; Phase 5: Culture brewing.
4. Service Overview
- Overview: Supports the construction of a framework that clearly defines the types and total amount of risk acceptable to management and links it to daily decision-making processes on the frontline.
- Target: Companies wanting to clarify criteria for business plans, M&A, etc.; companies feeling stagnant due to risk avoidance; companies with outdated ERM.
- Period: 6-12 months.
- Price: On consultation.
