The Board of Directors held 20 meetings during the fiscal year under review.
Risk Management

Each responsible officer investigates and confirms sustainability issues such as climate change, human rights, working environment, and natural disasters, and a system has been established for regular reporting to the Board of Directors. The Internal Audit Office audits the development and operational status of internal controls, and regularly exchanges information with the accounting auditor.

As the next fiscal year marks the company's 50th anniversary, a commemorative dividend is also under consideration (to be implemented depending on cumulative results through the second quarter). Class A preferred shares receive ¥60 per share (¥30 million in total) each period.
ESG
In support of the SDGs philosophy, the company has established six guiding principles for the product design stage—reduce, reuse, recycle, renewable, waste minimization, and energy cost reduction—and set quantitative targets accordingly. In terms of human capital, it discloses a female executive ratio of 22.2% and a female manager ratio of 30.2% (for the fiscal year under review), with targets of raising the female executive ratio to 30% or more and the female manager ratio to 35% or more within five years.
