Governance
The company operates as a company with an Audit and Supervisory Committee, comprising 8 directors (including 4 outside directors). It established a Nomination and Compensation Advisory Committee in May 2021 and a Special Committee (aimed at protecting minority shareholders) in June 2023, maintaining a structure that secures at least one-third of the board as independent outside directors.
Risk Management
The Company has established a three-lines-of-defense structure based on its Risk Management Regulations, under which material risks are assessed annually and reported to the Board of Directors. The Board oversees the PDCA cycle, while the Audit and Supervisory Committee monitors and verifies the appropriateness of this framework.
Shareholder Returns
The company's basic policy is performance-linked dividends, with the articles of incorporation stipulating dividends twice a year (interim and year-end). However, for FY2025 (ended March 2025), the year-end dividend was omitted due to a deterioration in business performance. The articles of incorporation stipulate that share buybacks can be flexibly implemented by resolution of the Board of Directors. The shareholder benefit program is planned to continue.
Dividend Policy
The basic policy is to continuously implement dividends linked to business performance, in principle paying dividends twice a year: an interim dividend and a year-end dividend. Dividends of surplus are determined by resolution of the Board of Directors. For FY2025 (ended March 2025), after comprehensively considering business performance, the Board resolved at an extraordinary Board of Directors meeting held on May 9, 2025 to omit the year-end dividend. The policy going forward is to continue stable dividends and the shareholder benefit program.
ESG
The company has identified five materialities (contribution to the global environment, food safety and security, human resource diversity, community contribution, and strengthening of management foundations), and has set targets of a 50% reduction in CO₂ emissions intensity by 2030 compared to FY2020, and a 20% ratio of female managers by FY2026. In March 2026, the company was certified as a "Certified Health & Productivity Management Outstanding Organization 2026 (Large Enterprise Category)".
