Governance
Company with an Audit and Supervisory Committee (transitioned in September 2022). The board consists of 8 directors (including 4 outside directors, all independent), with an outside director ratio of 50%. The company has established a voluntary Nomination Advisory Committee and Compensation Advisory Committee, both chaired by independent outside directors. At the shareholders' meeting in September 2025, one additional outside director is planned to be appointed (upon approval, 5 of 8 directors will be outside directors).
Risk Management
The Risk Management and Compliance Committee, chaired by the Representative Director and President, meets four times a year and manages risk on a company-wide, cross-functional basis, selecting, evaluating, and responding to material risks annually. With respect to climate change, the Company conducts scenario analysis under two scenarios (1.5°C and 4°C), identifying and assessing transition risks and physical risks across short-, medium-, and long-term time horizons. The Internal Audit Office (two dedicated staff), reporting directly to the Representative Director, conducts independent audits and has established a structure for reporting results to the Board of Directors and the Audit and Supervisory Committee.
