Governance
Company with an Audit and Supervisory Committee (transitioned to this structure in 2017). The Board of Directors comprises 10 members (6 outside directors, 60% outside ratio), with a tripartite executive structure of CEO, CFO, and CTO responsible for business execution, while a full-time Audit and Supervisory Committee member serves as Chairman of the Board. Both the Nomination Advisory Committee and the Compensation Advisory Committee are composed of a majority of outside directors, with an outside director also serving as chairperson of each.
Risk Management
Risks are classified into strategic risks, managed by the CEO-led Board of Directors and Management Executive Committee, and operational risks (six categories: legal/regulatory compliance, supply chain, information security, quality assurance, safety and health, and geopolitics), managed by the Risk Management Committee, with specialized organizations established to handle day-to-day management. In April 2026, the internal audit function was transferred under the jurisdiction of the Audit and Supervisory Committee to strengthen its independence.

The company will continue to target a consolidated payout ratio of 40% for FY2027 (ending March 2027) as well. Note that a 6-for-1 stock split of common shares was implemented effective April 1, 2026.

On the environmental front, the company has obtained SBT certification, and its Scope 1+2 reduction rate for FY2025 significantly exceeded the 16.5% target, achieving an actual reduction of 37.4%. It supports TCFD and participates in RE100, aiming for zero CO2 emissions from factories by 2050. In terms of human capital, the ratio of female managers stood at 4.8% (falling short of the 5.6% target), and the company obtained Certified Health & Productivity Management Outstanding Organization 2026 recognition. In May 2026, materiality was revised, and the Sustainability Promotion Committee (chaired by the CEO) under the new structure now oversees strategy and initiatives.
