As of the filing date of the Annual Securities Report, the board comprises 10 directors, of whom 7 are outside directors (outside director ratio of 70%). A Nomination Committee and a Compensation Committee have been voluntarily established, each composed of a majority of non-executive directors. Following the ordinary general meeting of shareholders in September 2025, the board is scheduled to consist of 8 directors, including 6 outside directors.
Risk Management
The Internal Audit Department consolidates risk factors, which are then identified and evaluated by the Internal Control Committee. The Sustainability Committee annually organizes a risk catalog linked to materiality items, establishing a framework to assess frequency of occurrence, impact, and the status of risk controls. Each group company has established a compliance meeting that reports on the status of risk management on a monthly basis.
