6558・Growth Market・Services
Governance
Company with a Board of Corporate Auditors. Composed of 3 directors (including 2 outside directors, an outside ratio of 66.7%) and 3 corporate auditors (including 2 outside corporate auditors). A Management Committee and a Risk & Compliance Committee have been established to accelerate decision-making and strengthen oversight functions. No nomination committee or compensation committee has been established.
Risk Management
The company has established Risk Management Regulations and conducts risk identification, analysis, evaluation, and monitoring of countermeasures through a Risk & Compliance Committee (chaired by the President and Representative Director, meeting at least once per quarter). The Corporate Headquarters serves as the supervising department, working in coordination with external experts (attorneys, certified public accountants, tax accountants, and labor and social security attorneys). The Internal Audit Office, which reports directly to the President and Representative Director, conducts periodic audits covering all business operations and reports the results to the Board of Directors. An internal whistleblowing hotline (staffed by a full-time Audit & Supervisory Board Member and outside legal counsel) has also been established.
Shareholder Returns
No dividends have been paid since the company's founding. No dividend was paid in the first half of FY2026 (ending November 2026) either (¥0.00 at the end of Q2). The full-year dividend forecast remains undetermined. The policy of prioritizing retained earnings for growth investment remains unchanged. No share buybacks or shareholder benefit programs are being implemented.
Dividend Policy
As the company is currently in a growth phase, it has prioritized building up retained earnings and has not paid any dividends since its establishment. The interim dividend at the end of the first half of FY2026 (ending November 2026) was ¥0.00. The forecast for the year-end dividend amount for the full fiscal year remains undetermined at this time. Going forward, the company will consider distributing profits to shareholders while taking into account its business performance and financial position, but the possibility of paying dividends and the timing of any such payment remain undetermined at this time. The Articles of Incorporation stipulate the interim period-end date and the fiscal year-end date as the dividend record dates, and provide that dividends of surplus may be paid based on a resolution of the Board of Directors.
ESG
Under the mission that 'people' create 'food' and the vision 'Empower the Food People,' the company promotes sustainability initiatives centered on human resource development and internal environment improvement. It has achieved a 23.0% ratio of female managers and a 50.0% male childcare leave uptake rate, and has implemented a new personnel system introduced in December 2025 (an integrated overhaul of grading, evaluation, and compensation), an employee stock ownership plan with a 30% incentive grant rate (65% enrollment rate), the lifting of the ban on side jobs, and regular engagement surveys. Quantitative and numerical targets related to climate change have not yet been set, and disclosure is planned for the future.
