Governance
Company with a Board of Corporate Auditors. The Board of Directors consists of 5 members in total, 2 internal and 3 outside directors (outside director ratio of 60%). The Board of Corporate Auditors consists of 3 members, all outside auditors (including 1 certified public accountant and 1 attorney). A Nomination and Compensation Committee (chaired by an outside director) has been established as a voluntary advisory body regarding director nominations and compensation, ensuring transparency and objectivity in governance.
Risk Management
The company has established a Risk and Compliance Committee chaired by the Representative Director, which meets once every half year. Based on the Risk Management Regulations, the company identifies, evaluates, and responds to company-wide risks, and has built a risk management framework through regular operational audits by internal auditors, an internal whistleblowing system (with both internal and external contact points), and the development of Information Security Regulations and Personal Information Protection Regulations. Sustainability-related risks are also managed in an integrated manner by the same committee.
Shareholder Returns
No dividend track record since establishment. The company is currently in a growth phase and prioritizes building internal reserves, allocating them to platform development and human capital investment. The possibility and timing of future dividends remain undetermined.
Dividend Policy
The company has never paid a dividend since its establishment and plans to focus on building internal reserves for the time being. Internal reserves will be allocated to platform development aimed at strengthening service revenue capability, as well as to recruiting and developing talented personnel. Future dividend decisions will be made based on a balance between each period's operating results and internal reserves, but at this time the possibility and timing of any dividend payment remain undetermined. If a dividend is paid, the basic policy will be a single year-end dividend, and the articles of incorporation include provisions allowing for flexible profit distribution by resolution of the Board of Directors.
ESG
Under the mission of "stirring up cities and rural areas," the company has embedded social impact measurement and management into its corporate management, disclosing three impact indicators in its statutory disclosure documents: the total transaction value of "face-to-face trade," the number of communications between producers and consumers, and the number of days spent traveling between cities and rural areas. From the perspective of supporting producers who are on the front lines of the effects of climate change and extreme weather, the company positions sustainability at the core of its business and promotes initiatives toward the 17 SDGs across each business segment. On the human capital front, the company regards the recruitment and development of diverse talent and the improvement of the internal work environment as important issues, but specific numerical targets have not yet been set.
