KPMG Consulting Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo; Representatives: Minoru Seki, Atsushi Taguchi, Masahiko Chinono; hereinafter, KPMG Consulting) today announced the "Resilience Survey 2026" (Preliminary Report), a report summarizing the results of a survey on the initiatives of Japanese companies regarding resilience (the ability of companies to overcome crises and achieve further growth) and business continuity planning (BCP). In recent years, the risks that companies must address have become increasingly complex, including the intensification of natural disasters, the sophistication of cyberattacks, and the increase in economic security and geopolitical risks. In such situations, more advanced risk response is required, going beyond traditional BCP formulation. This survey, the sixth conducted since 2024, targets listed and unlisted companies in Japan and is based on results obtained from March to April 2026. It summarizes two themes: "Status of Business Continuity Promotion Systems in Japanese Companies" and "Status of Operational Resilience Initiatives."
