Governance
Company with an Audit and Supervisory Committee. Five directors on the board, including three outside directors (independent director ratio of 60.0%). In January 2020, the company established a voluntary Nomination Committee and Compensation Committee, both composed solely of the three outside directors. During the fiscal year under review, the Board of Directors met 17 times, with all directors attending every meeting.
Risk Management
With the President and CEO as the officer in charge of overall risk management, the Management Administration Division serves as the department responsible for early detection and prevention of risks, and a corresponding framework has been established. Compliance is promoted by the head of the Legal & General Affairs Group, while sustainability-related risks are discussed and monitored jointly by the Management Administration Group, the Legal & General Affairs Group, and the Internal Audit Office, with findings reported to the Audit and Supervisory Committee and the Board of Directors. On the information security front, the company obtained ISMS certification in 2021 and has been promoting the construction of a next-generation infrastructure since 2025. Multi-layered measures are being implemented, including the utilization of outside experts and the acquisition of cyber insurance.
Shareholder Returns
The company has continued to pay no dividends since its founding. The annual dividend for FY2025 (ending December 2025) was ¥0, and the forecast for FY2026 (ending December 2026) is also ¥0. There is no change to the policy of prioritizing the accumulation of internal reserves given the company's growth stage. No share buybacks or shareholder benefit programs are in place.
Dividend Policy
As the company is currently in a growth stage, it considers it important to build up internal reserves in order to strengthen its financial structure for the long-term stability of its management foundation and to achieve continuous business expansion. It has not paid dividends since its founding. The annual dividend for FY2025 (ending December 2025) was ¥0, and the forecast for FY2026 (ending December 2026) is also ¥0 (year-end dividend only). Regarding future dividends, the company will consider the matter comprehensively, taking into account the trends in business performance, financial condition, business plans, and investment plans, while balancing this against internal reserves. If dividends are paid, the company envisions a single year-end dividend once per year, with the decision made by the general shareholders' meeting.
ESG
The company sets human capital management as its top-priority goal, and in FY2025 (ending December 2025) achieved a 40% ratio of female managers, a gender wage gap of 101.86%, and 100% childcare leave uptake for both men and women. Its mission is to address four social issues—“school non-attendance,” “developmental disabilities,” “low academic achievement,” and “poverty”—and it publishes an Impact Management Report. Quantitative targets and indicators related to climate change have not yet been established, and the company states this will be considered as a future task.
