Governance
In June 2025, the company transitioned from a company with a board of corporate auditors to a company with an audit and supervisory committee. The Board of Directors consists of 11 members (including 7 outside directors), and the company has strengthened its oversight function by establishing a voluntary Nomination and Compensation Advisory Committee (with outside directors constituting a majority).
Risk Management
The company has established a Risk Management Committee (comprising internal directors, including the Representative Director, President and CEO, and full-time Audit and Supervisory Committee members) based on the Risk Management Regulations, and conducts annual risk assessments as well as major reviews every three years. Company-wide risks, including climate change risks, are managed in coordination with the Sustainability Committee, and a system has been established whereby the content of deliberations is reported to the Board of Directors once every half-year.
