An executive officer system was introduced in 2016 to separate decision-making/supervisory functions from business execution functions. The Board of Directors met 19 times per year with full attendance.
Risk Management
The Company has established an internal control system centered on the Internal Control Committee, chaired by the Representative Director and President. The Internal Control and Audit Office (3 members), reporting directly to the President, conducts internal audits, and a framework has been built to promptly identify and respond to management risks through the Management Meeting, Sales Meeting, Department/Section Manager Meeting, and other venues. Sustainability-related risks are identified and assessed by each responsible department, deliberated at the Management Meeting, and important matters are reported to the Board of Directors.

Dividend Policy

As a general rule, a year-end dividend is paid once per year, and interim dividends are also permitted under the Articles of Incorporation. Retained earnings are allocated to capital expenditures (expansion of production capacity, rationalization, and quality improvement) to strengthen the management foundation.
