Governance
The company employs a Board of Corporate Auditors system, consisting of 6 directors (including 1 outside director) and 3 corporate auditors (including 2 outside auditors). All directors attended 100% of the 18 Board of Directors meetings held during the fiscal year. Neither a nomination committee nor a compensation committee has been established.
Risk Management
Business audits are conducted by the Internal Audit Office, which reports directly to the Representative Director, and risk information is shared internally through monthly department head meetings and Board of Directors meetings. A legal advisory system has been established through a retainer agreement with legal counsel. Sustainability risks are identified and assessed through roundtable discussions among executives, and the company recognizes the medium- to long-term impact on business performance associated with the reduction of coal-fired power generation as a priority issue for response.
