The Board of Directors meets regularly once a month, with a 100% attendance rate for all members.
Risk Management
Centered on the company-wide enhancement of internal control levels by the Internal Audit Office, the Administration Division promotes thorough compliance, including adherence to the security policy and prevention of insider trading. Each responsible director is in charge of risk recognition, assessment, and preventive measures, and a system has been established to immediately report any signs of danger to the President and Representative Director. For sustainability-related materiality items, KPIs and milestones have been set, and progress is monitored at management meetings and progress review meetings.

ESG
As part of its climate change response, the company is working to reduce carbon emissions by shifting its internal environment to cloud-based and serverless systems, and has also made donations to decarbonization projects through the corporate version of the furusato nozei (hometown tax) program. In terms of human capital, based on the "ProShip Human Resource Process Framework," the company is promoting initiatives across four areas—selection, skills, culture, and environment—and achieved a male childcare leave uptake rate of 100%, a health checkup uptake rate of 100%, and an employee stock ownership plan participation rate of 70.6% in FY2026 (ending March 2026). On the other hand, the retention rate of 88.1% (target: 92.0%) and the training hours ratio of 4.3% (target: 5.0%) fell short of targets.
