Governance
In March 2026, the company transitioned from a company with a board of corporate auditors to a company with an audit and supervisory committee. The board of directors consists of 7 members in total: 4 internal directors and 3 audit and supervisory committee members (all outside directors), with all 4 outside directors designated as independent officers. A voluntary nomination and compensation advisory committee (with outside officers comprising a majority of its members) has been established to ensure transparency and objectivity.
Risk Management
The company has established the "Risk Management Regulations" and holds the Risk & Compliance Committee (chaired by the Representative Director) in principle once a month to oversee company-wide risk management. The Internal Audit Office (2 staff members) conducts internal audits based on an annual plan, coordinating with the Audit and Supervisory Committee and the accounting auditor to ensure effectiveness. Regarding sustainability-related risks as well, the company intends to proceed with identification, evaluation, and consideration of countermeasures through the same committee.

Initiatives implemented include the launch of a Women's Advancement Promotion Project Team, career counseling by female outside directors, and the introduction of a new subsidy system for egg freezing costs.
