Governance
As a company with an audit and supervisory committee, the Board of Directors (16 members, including 9 outside directors) meets in principle once a month. The company has established a 'Nomination and Compensation Committee' chaired by an independent outside director, along with a 'Management Discussion Meeting', as advisory bodies to the Board of Directors, aiming to enhance management transparency and strengthen its oversight function.
Risk Management
A Risk Management Committee chaired by the Representative Director and President convenes quarterly to provide overall management of risks across the group. Sustainability-related risks, such as climate change and human capital, are assessed and managed by the Sustainability Promotion Committee, with a two-tier structure in place whereby findings are reported to the Board of Directors.

Dividend Policy
The basic policy is to implement stable dividends to shareholders while taking into consideration internal reserves for business performance and strengthening the management foundation. Dividends are paid twice a year, as an interim dividend and a year-end dividend. For FY2026 (ending March 2026), the year-end dividend was increased from the initially planned ¥24 to ¥25, resulting in an annual dividend of ¥48 (versus ¥47 in the previous period). The payout ratio is 32.8% (versus 35.0% in the previous period). For FY2027 (ending March 2027), an annual dividend of ¥50 (interim ¥25 + year-end ¥25) is forecast, with an expected payout ratio of 33.7%. The Articles of Incorporation provide for share buybacks (through market transactions, etc., by resolution of the Board of Directors), enabling flexible capital policy execution.
ESG
Centered on the Sustainability Promotion Committee established in 2022, the company is advancing climate change response based on TCFD recommendations (targeting a 46% reduction in Scope 1 and 2 emissions by FY2030 versus FY2013 levels, and carbon neutrality by 2050). In terms of human capital, it has been certified as an Excellent Health Management Corporation for seven consecutive years, and is pursuing multifaceted ESG initiatives including DE&I promotion and a target of raising the ratio of female managers to 5% by FY2030 (ending March 2031).
