Governance
As a company with an Audit and Supervisory Committee, the company separates the Board of Directors from the Management Committee to clarify management oversight and business execution. Of the 7 directors, 4 are outside directors (of which 3 outside directors serve on the Audit and Supervisory Committee), and a Compliance Management Committee has also been established.
Risk Management
The Management Council identifies and analyzes risks and determines countermeasure policies, and a system has been established under which the Internal Audit Office, which reports directly to the President and Representative Director, conducts periodic business audits and reports the results to the President. Climate change risk is managed by the Risk Management Committee, and reported to the Board of Directors via the Management Council.
Shareholder Returns
The company positions shareholder returns as an important management priority, but continues to forgo dividends in FY2026 (ending March 2026) due to a net loss for the period. The dividend for FY2027 (ending March 2027) is also undecided at this time. No mention of share buybacks is found in the earnings report.
Dividend Policy
The policy aims for stable dividends while maintaining a sound financial structure and securing the internal reserves necessary for future business development. For FY2026 (ending March 2026), no dividend will be paid because sufficient profit cannot be secured. The dividend for FY2027 (ending March 2027) remains undecided at this time and is expected to be announced together with earnings forecasts around June 2026.
ESG
The company has conducted a scenario analysis based on TCFD recommendations for 1.5°C and 4°C scenarios, and has set a goal of achieving carbon neutrality by 2050. It manages climate change risks by positioning its management meeting as a Sustainability Committee, while also treating engineers as important human capital and working to enhance their capabilities and promote diversity.
