Risks related to changes in laws and regulations
In pursuing its businesses in Japan, the Asahi Group is placed under the regulatory control of various laws, including the Liquor Tax Law, the Food Sanitation Law, and the Product Liability Law. The Group also operates under the control of laws and regulations in other countries in which it operates. Changes in such laws and regulations, or the unexpected introduction of new laws and regulations, may affect the business performance and financial condition of the Asahi Group.
