Governance
The company operates as a company with an Audit and Supervisory Committee, comprising 7 directors (including 3 Audit and Supervisory Committee members and 2 outside directors). It has adopted an executive officer system to clarify the separation of decision-making/oversight functions from executive functions. Both of the two outside directors are designated as independent officers, and the company has established an oversight structure leveraging the specialized expertise of an attorney and a university professor.
Risk Management
The company works to identify emerging risks through various meetings such as the Board of Directors and Management Committee, and addresses diverse risks—including credit risk, raw material price fluctuation risk, quality, environmental, safety, and disaster risks—by formulating various internal regulations. Regarding sustainability issues, each department head conducts an evaluation once a year, and a system has been established whereby the Head of the Audit Office consolidates and evaluates company-wide risks and reports to the President and Representative Director.
