Governance
Operating as a company with a Board of Corporate Auditors, the company is managed centered on the Board of Directors (held monthly, 18 times in the fiscal year under review), the Executive Committee, and the Board of Corporate Auditors. In April 2022, a Nomination and Compensation Advisory Committee, with independent outside directors constituting a majority, was established to strengthen transparency and objectivity. Of the 10 directors, 3 are outside directors (Kazuhiko Inaba, Reiko Torii, and Tsuyoshi Sakamoto), and the company has a structure of 14 executive officers.
Risk Management
Based on the "Risk Management Regulations," the Representative Director appoints a Director in charge of overall risk management, and systematically manages risks related to sales, safety, quality, finance, information, and other areas. A Compliance Committee (chaired by the President) and a Compliance Promotion Office have been established, along with internal and external consultation points of contact. The Internal Audit Department conducts operational audits, including of subsidiaries, and reports the results to the Board of Directors, forming an established governance framework.
