Governance
As a company with a board of corporate auditors, the company is composed of six directors (two of whom are outside directors). It separates execution and oversight through an executive officer system and has established a voluntary nomination and compensation committee to ensure transparency and objectivity. Since the parent company, Nifty Corporation (a wholly owned subsidiary of Nojima Corporation), is a controlling shareholder, the company has established related-party transaction management regulations from the perspective of protecting minority shareholders.
Risk Management
The company has established a system in which the Risk and Compliance Management Committee meets at least four times a year to identify, assess, and manage risks, with results reported to the Board of Directors. Sustainability-related risks are also managed quarterly by this committee. In addition, internal audits are conducted by the Audit Office, which reports directly to the President, and an internal whistleblowing system with an external expert as the point of contact has also been established.
