Governance
Company with a Board of Corporate Auditors. The Board of Directors consists of 4 members (2 of whom are outside directors, an outside ratio of 50%), and the company has established a voluntary Nomination Advisory Committee and Compensation Advisory Committee (both with independent outside directors comprising a majority). It maintains a multi-layered governance framework that includes a Risk Management Committee chaired by an outside director and a Compliance Committee that meets once a month.
Risk Management
A Risk Management Committee chaired by an outside director convenes in principle once per quarter to identify, analyze, and formulate countermeasures for risks inherent in management and business activities. Sustainability issues, including climate change and human capital, are also managed by this committee in an integrated manner with company-wide risk management, with a framework in place to ultimately report to the Board of Directors. In the event of a contingency, a response headquarters headed by the President is established, working in coordination with an external advisory team.
