Governance
As a company with an audit and supervisory committee, the board consists of 12 directors (including 3 audit and supervisory committee members and 2 outside directors). The Board of Directors meets once a month and works in coordination with the Executive Management Committee (comprising the President, Senior Executive Managing Director, and Executive Managing Director) to ensure the soundness and efficiency of management.
Risk Management
The company identifies risks across 10 categories, including market environment, raw material procurement, information security, and climate change, and manages them comprehensively through the Basic Compliance Regulations, ISO9001, and regular internal audits. Risk assessments are reviewed periodically, with a system in place to report to the Board of Directors each fiscal period.
Shareholder Returns
The company's policy is a consolidated payout ratio floor of 30%. For FY2026 (ending March 2026), the annual dividend is ¥300 per share (interim ¥155 plus year-end ¥145, including a special ¥30 commemorative dividend for the 75th anniversary of founding), representing a payout ratio of 33.5%. For FY2027 (ending March 2027), an ordinary dividend of ¥330 (an increase of ¥30 year on year) is forecast, representing a payout ratio of 49.5%. A share buyback has been resolved for the period from July to December 2026, with an upper limit of 34,000 shares and ¥510 million.
Dividend Policy
While maintaining a stable dividend with a consolidated payout ratio floor of approximately 30%, the company implements profit distribution that appropriately reflects business performance, balancing this with strengthening its mid- to long-term business foundation and growth investment. The company aims to continuously maintain and expand its shareholder return amount, including share buybacks as needed. If the company acquires treasury shares up to the maximum limit of ¥510 million in the next fiscal year (FY2027, ending March 2027), the total return ratio is expected to be 124.3%.
ESG
The ESG Management Promotion Secretariat, operating directly under the President and Representative Director, promotes GHG reduction activities, targeting an approximately 30% reduction in Scope 1+2 emissions by 2030 and carbon neutrality by 2050. In terms of human capital, the company has set a target of raising the ratio of female managers to 15% by FY2030, and is implementing next-generation leader training and AI talent development training, among other initiatives.
