As a company with an Audit and Supervisory Committee, it has 7 directors (including 4 outside directors, all of whom are independent officers), ensuring management oversight through a monthly Board of Directors meeting and a Nomination and Compensation Advisory Committee. A sustainability promotion framework has also been established through the CSV Promotion Committee.
Risk Management
Company-wide risk management is handled by the CSV Promotion Committee, which identifies and narrows down sustainability risks before reporting to the Business Execution Meeting and, ultimately, to the Board of Directors, which provides oversight under this established framework. The Internal Audit Department conducts operational audits and compliance audits at all offices and subsidiaries based on an annual plan.
