Governance
Company with a Board of Corporate Auditors. The Board of Directors consists of 5 members (3 outside directors, outside ratio 60%), and the Board of Corporate Auditors consists of 3 members (2 outside auditors). The company has established a voluntary Nomination Committee and Sustainability Committee, and seeks to separate the decision-making and oversight functions from the business execution function through its Management Committee.
Risk Management
The Sustainability Committee, chaired by the President and Representative Director, oversees risk identification and assessment across the group and reports regularly to the Board of Directors. IT system risk (cyberattacks and obsolescence) and human capital risk (recruitment competition and turnover) have been identified as key risks, and measures such as multi-layered defense, backup systems, and cyber insurance enrollment have been implemented.
Shareholder Returns
Dividend per share for FY2026 (ending March 2026) was ¥36.50 (total dividends of ¥289 million, payout ratio of 37.0%). For FY2027 (ending March 2027), the dividend is planned to increase to ¥42.50 (payout ratio forecast of 37.0%). A small amount of share buybacks was conducted (¥36 thousand).
Dividend Policy
The company aims for a consolidated payout ratio of approximately 30% as one benchmark, while paying dividends in line with business performance. The actual result for FY2026 (ending March 2026) was ¥36.50 per share (payout ratio of 37.0%), and the forecast for FY2027 (ending March 2027) is ¥42.50 per share (payout ratio of 37.0%). The policy is to gradually raise the payout ratio, aiming for 40% in the final year of the medium-term management plan (FY2029, ending March 2029).
ESG
The company positions its contribution to a circular society through the reuse business as the foundation of its sustainability efforts, managing IT system enhancement (core system SLA of 99.5% or higher, engineer in-house development ratio of 75%) and human capital investment (100% completion rate for tiered training, 100% childcare leave uptake rate for both men and women, and a 3.7% increase in average annual salary) as key indicators. Diversity targets such as the ratio of female hires and foreign national hires have partially fallen short, and the company plans to improve these through diversification of recruitment channels.
