Governance
As a company with an Audit and Supervisory Committee, it comprises 10 directors (including 4 audit and supervisory committee members), with 5 independent outside directors (50%) designated. An executive officer system and nomination and compensation committees have been established to separate management oversight from execution and to ensure transparency.
Risk Management
Based on the "Risk Management Regulations," the Sustainability Committee is designated as the organization with sole responsibility for promoting risk management, and it deliberates on basic policies, plans, and progress on a quarterly basis. A system has been established whereby the Audit Department audits the status of risk management across the group as a whole and reports to the Representative Director and the Audit and Supervisory Committee.
