Governance
Company with a Board of Corporate Auditors. The Board of Directors comprises 9 members (3 of whom are outside directors, an outside director ratio of 33.3%), and there are 3 corporate auditors (all outside). A voluntary Nomination and Compensation Committee has been established, chaired by an independent outside officer. The Board of Directors met 18 times during the fiscal year under review. Following the Ordinary General Meeting of Shareholders on March 30, 2026, the Board of Directors is scheduled to be reduced to 7 members (2 of whom will be outside directors).
Risk Management
The CSR Committee Secretariat oversees the risk management process, including sustainability and climate change risks, and reports identified material risks to the Board of Directors for resolution. Risk status is continuously reviewed at management meetings, and directors build risk management systems within their assigned areas of responsibility based on internal regulations such as the Rules on Division of Duties and Authority. The Internal Audit Office (reporting directly to the President, staffed by one person) coordinates with the corporate auditors and the audit firm to conduct periodic audits of internal controls.
Shareholder Returns
Dividends are paid twice a year. For FY2026 (ending December 2026), the company forecasts an annual dividend of ¥7.00 per share (¥3.50 at the second-quarter end plus ¥3.50 at year-end), unchanged from the prior period's actual results. Share buybacks can be conducted flexibly by resolution of the Board of Directors under the Articles of Incorporation.
Dividend Policy
The basic policy is to return profits in line with business performance, with comprehensive decisions made considering active business expansion and the enhancement of retained earnings. Dividends are paid twice a year: an interim dividend and a year-end dividend. Actual results for FY2025 (ended December 2025) were an interim dividend of ¥3.50 per share and a year-end dividend of ¥3.50 per share, totaling ¥7.00. The forecast for FY2026 (ending December 2026) is ¥3.50 per share at the second-quarter end and ¥3.50 at year-end, totaling ¥7.00 (unchanged from the prior period).
ESG
As part of climate change response, the company conducted scenario analysis based on IPCC/IEA 4°C and 1.5°C scenarios, and obtained SBTi certification at the 1.5°C level for its target of reducing GHG emissions by 42% by FY2030 compared to FY2020. Scope 1 emissions have already reached zero. In human capital development, the company promotes non-discriminatory education and training policies and health management initiatives (improving health literacy, promoting health, and enhancing the working environment). Numerical targets such as the ratio of female and foreign national managers have not been set.
