Governance
Company with a Board of Corporate Auditors. The Board of Directors consists of 10 members (1 outside director, 10% outside ratio) and holds regular meetings once a month.

No nomination committee or compensation committee has been established.
Risk Management
The company has established internal audits by the Audit Office, which reports directly to the President, and a Risk and Compliance Committee (executive council) chaired by the President, building a company-wide risk management framework based on its risk management regulations. When a significant incident occurs, it is reported to and discussed by the Committee, and the company works with external experts such as lawyers and tax accountants to detect risks early and prevent their occurrence.
