Governance
The company transitioned to a Company with an Audit and Supervisory Committee in 2016. The Board of Directors comprises 7 members (including 3 outside directors, all of whom are independent officers), and a Governance Committee has been established to serve the nomination and compensation functions. The Board of Directors meets 13 times per year, with full attendance maintained by all members.
Risk Management
Each business execution department head identifies and evaluates risks, including sustainability-related risks, which are cross-departmentally discussed and verified by the Internal Control Committee (with the participation of the Head of the Internal Audit Office) before being reported to the Board of Directors. The precision of risk management is enhanced through the use of a "Priority Risk Management Sheet" and a "Self-Check List." A framework has been established to set up a task force under the direct control of the President in the event of an emergency.
