Governance
As a company with an Audit and Supervisory Committee, the company combines a Board of Directors (as of June 24, 2026, 8 directors including 2 outside directors, and 4 Audit and Supervisory Committee members including 3 outside members) with an executive officer system to enhance the soundness, transparency, and efficiency of management. The company has established a "Nomination and Compensation Committee" as a voluntary advisory body to the Board of Directors, in which independent outside directors constitute the majority and chair the committee, thereby ensuring transparency in the nomination and compensation processes.
Risk Management
The company has established a Risk Management and BCM Committee under the Management Council, which comprehensively identifies and evaluates risks through both top-down and bottom-up approaches, formulates and monitors risk response plans, and regularly reports to the Board of Directors. From April 2026, the committee will be elevated from a subcommittee under the Sustainability Committee to an independent committee, further strengthening the risk management framework.
