Governance
Following the 18th Annual General Meeting of Shareholders held in May 2025, the company transitioned from a company with a Board of Corporate Auditors to a company with an Audit and Supervisory Committee. Post-transition, the Board of Directors consists of 6 members in total: 3 executive directors and 3 outside directors who serve as Audit and Supervisory Committee members, resulting in an outside director ratio of 50%. The company has also established a voluntary Nomination and Compensation Committee (5 members, majority independent outside directors, chaired by an independent outside director), aiming to strengthen the transparency and effectiveness of its governance.
Risk Management
The Compliance and Risk Management Committee (composed of the representative director, full-time directors, etc., convened quarterly), chaired by the director in charge of administration, serves as the central body that comprehensively manages risks such as market, information security, environmental, and labor risks based on the Risk Management Regulations. A system has been established whereby, in the event of an unforeseen incident, reports are made to the Committee, which then escalates matters to the Board of Directors. The company has also developed a BCP, established an internal whistleblowing hotline and a help-line contact point, and put in place a system for excluding antisocial forces (membership in the Special Violence Prevention Countermeasures Federation under the jurisdiction of the Metropolitan Police Department).
