Governance
As a company with an Audit and Supervisory Committee, it combines the Board of Directors, the Audit and Supervisory Committee, and an executive officer system to separate oversight from business execution. Independent outside directors serve as chairpersons and hold a majority on both the Nomination Committee and the Compensation Committee, and a framework has been established whereby a Board of Directors with a majority of independent outside directors reviews conflict-of-interest transactions with the parent company.
Risk Management
Based on the "Business Risk Management Regulations," the Internal Control Division promotes BRM (Business Risk Management), and risks deemed particularly critical by management are selected and managed as "Specified Risks." Company-wide functional divisions and business divisions collaborate to minimize and prevent a variety of risks, including ESG-related risks, and a BCM system has also been established through the formulation of a BCP.
Shareholder Returns
The company's basic policy is to maintain stable dividends, but for FY2025 (ending March 2025), no dividend was paid due to a deficit in retained earnings carried forward on a non-consolidated basis. Provisions have been established in the Articles of Incorporation to enable flexible dividend policy execution through Board of Directors resolutions.
