Governance
Company with an Audit and Supervisory Committee. The Board of Directors consists of 5 directors (including 3 outside directors, an outside director ratio of 60%), and all 3 Audit and Supervisory Committee members are outside directors. The Board of Directors meets 13 times per year. No Nomination Committee or Compensation Committee has been established.
Risk Management
A system in which risks are mutually monitored through coordination among departments, with important matters decided by the Board of Directors and the Management Committee. Sustainability risks are identified and narrowed down through ad hoc meetings among directors and executive officers, discussed at the Management Committee, and overseen by the Board of Directors.
Shareholder Returns
The basic policy is to pay stable dividends twice a year (interim and year-end), and the company continues to plan an annual dividend of ¥50 per share for FY2026 (ending August 2026) (interim ¥25 + year-end ¥25 forecast). There is no revision to earnings forecasts. Provisions for share buybacks have been established in the articles of incorporation. A shareholder benefit program is in place (contributing to an increase in the number of registered members on the company's own e-commerce site).
Dividend Policy
The company strives to pay sustainable and stable dividends, taking into comprehensive and long-term account business trends, financial condition, and future business development. The basic policy is to pay dividends twice a year, interim and year-end. For FY2025 (ended August 2025), an annual dividend of ¥50 per share (interim ¥25 + year-end ¥25) was paid. For FY2026 (ending August 2026), the interim dividend of ¥25 has already been paid, and a year-end dividend of ¥25 is forecast, with the annual dividend expected to remain at ¥50. There is no change to the dividend forecast.
ESG
The Board of Directors bears oversight responsibility for sustainability risks and opportunities, and addresses environmental, social, and governance issues based on the "Code of Conduct," "Management Philosophy," and other principles. Human resource development centers on OJT (on-the-job training), with feedback provided through individual interviews, and the company is advancing efforts to create an environment in which diverse talent, including women and mid-career hires, can thrive. Quantitative targets for ensuring diversity have not yet been set and remain under ongoing discussion by the Board of Directors.
