Governance
The company has a Board of Corporate Auditors structure. The Board of Directors, comprising 10 directors (including 4 outside directors), meets 14 times per year, and an executive officer system separates management oversight from business execution. A Nomination and Compensation Committee (consisting of 5 members, including 4 outside directors) has been established to deliberate on the nomination and compensation of directors.
Risk Management
The company has established a comprehensive risk management framework through a Risk Management Committee (comprising 13 directors and executive officers) chaired by the President. Climate change risk is assessed through scenario analysis (RCP1.9–8.5) based on TCFD recommendations, with physical risk recognized as a material risk. The company addresses this through BCP formulation and factory infrastructure enhancement, while the Sustainability Promotion Committee (held quarterly) monitors progress and reports to the Board of Directors and Management Committee.
