In short

ISO 22301 certification in Yokohama at a glance

Minato Mirai 21's businesses have organised their own disaster-prevention work: a committee of area businesses, a safety plan for urban regeneration, guides for stranded commuters and drills. The port and the Keihin factories raise the stakes further, since terminals and plants depend on tightly timed operations. ISO 22301 is the business continuity standard that turns these concerns into a tested system: a business impact analysis, recovery strategies, plans, exercises and review. Served from Sterling's Tokyo office, Sterling works with your operations team to choose priorities, write plans that staff can follow under pressure, and run realistic exercises, recording actions and improvements in Effivity.

ISO 22301 in Yokohama: questions clients ask

What disaster measures exist in Minato Mirai 21 that tenants can build on?

The district association lists a committee of area businesses, an urban regeneration safety plan, guidance for stranded commuters, help cards for foreign residents and area drills. These shape the district's response, but each tenant still needs its own plan for people, premises and systems.

Where should a Yokohama port-side firm start with ISO 22301?

With the few activities that must restart first and what they depend on, such as people, systems, power and a critical supplier. Then test the recovery steps in a short exercise. A firm that knows its dependencies can write a plan that is short and usable.
