Governance
Following an incident of inappropriate conduct by the former Representative Director in May 2026, the company is undergoing a reorganization of its management structure. It currently consists of 9 directors (6 of whom are outside directors), and plans to transition to a monitoring board model at the Annual General Meeting of Shareholders in June 2026, under which 4 of 5 directors (80%) will be independent outside directors. The company has established a voluntary Nomination Committee and Compensation Committee, both chaired by independent outside directors.
Risk Management
The General Affairs Department collects and evaluates sustainability-related risks across the entire company, with important matters deliberated and resolved by the Management Committee and the Board of Directors. Drawing lessons from the disruption caused by the core system renewal project in 2024, the company has designated IT governance development as a priority issue, and is establishing a framework to strengthen checks and balances in system development and operations, as well as to identify business continuity risks at an early stage.
