Governance
The company has a Board of Corporate Auditors structure. The Board of Directors consists of 6 members (3 of whom are outside directors, a ratio of 50%), and all 3 corporate auditors are outside auditors. Following the Annual General Meeting of Shareholders in July 2025, the Board of Directors is scheduled to comprise 7 members (4 outside directors), with outside directors forming a majority. The establishment of a Nomination Committee or Compensation Committee is not mentioned in the securities report.
Risk Management
The company has established the "Global Risk Management Regulations" and set up an independent Risk Management Committee chaired by the CEO. It manages company-wide risks, including sustainability-related risks, in an integrated manner, and has also put in place an Information Security Committee, internal audits, and an internal whistleblowing system.
Shareholder Returns
The company has continued to pay no dividends since its founding. Given the need for substantial upfront investment in space technology research and development, the company prioritizes retained earnings, and the timing of any future dividend payment remains undecided.
Dividend Policy
Space technology research and development requires substantial upfront investment. Based on the view that maximizing shareholder value is best achieved by prioritizing aggressive development to enhance corporate value, the company has not paid dividends since its founding and instead prioritizes retained earnings. The timing of any future dividend payment remains undecided. The decision-making body for any distribution of surplus, if implemented, is the Board of Directors.
ESG
With "Space Sustainability" at the core of its vision, the ESG Working Group, led by a Director and COO, drives initiatives forward. In 2023, the company formulated a company-wide sustainability strategy, designating environmental conservation, diversity, governance enhancement, and advocacy for legal and regulatory frameworks as priority focus areas. Employees represent more than 35 nationalities, with women accounting for 28% and engineers 73% of the workforce. However, as of the filing date of this document, no quantitative sustainability-related indicators or targets have been established.
