Governance
Company with a Board of Corporate Auditors. The Board of Directors consists of 6 directors (including 2 outside directors, who are independent officers), maintaining an independent outside director ratio of at least one-third. A voluntary Nomination and Compensation Committee (chaired by an independent outside officer) has been established as a permanent advisory body, and a structure ensuring independence from the parent company ASKUL has been put in place. The Board of Directors met 14 times during the fiscal year under review.
Risk Management
The Company has established Risk Management Regulations, under which risk identification, evaluation, and response measures are carried out at the Risk Review Committee, composed of members of the Executive Officers' Committee and chaired by the Officer in Charge of Risk Management (a Director). A system has been put in place whereby the Internal Audit Office confirms the status of responses and their effectiveness through regular audits. Important matters concerning sustainability-related risks are deliberated by the Executive Officers' Committee and reported to the Board of Directors as necessary.
