Governance
In June 2025, the company transitioned from a company with a board of company auditors to a company with an audit and supervisory committee. It comprises six directors (three of whom are outside directors), and has established a Special Committee to deliberate on conflicts of interest with controlling shareholders, as well as an ERM Committee, a Compliance Committee, an ESG Committee, and others, strengthening the separation of supervisory functions from business execution.
Risk Management
An ERM framework has been established based on the basic risk management policy, with the ERM Committee, chaired by the officer in charge of risk management, responsible for integrated risk management across the group as a whole. Strategic risk, credit risk, financial risk, accounting/tax risk, and operational risk are defined in internal regulations, and a system has been built whereby monitoring results from each responsible department are reported to the ERM Committee and the Board of Directors.
