Risk Management
The Company has appointed a Chief Risk Management Officer based on its Risk Management Regulations and established a Risk Management Committee.

The actual results for FY2025 (ending September 2025) were an ordinary dividend of ¥105 plus a commemorative dividend of ¥20 for the 30th anniversary of listing, totaling ¥125 per share. For FY2026 (ending September 2026), the interim dividend is forecast at ¥0 and the year-end dividend at ¥105, for an annual total of ¥105 (unchanged from the most recently announced forecast).
ESG
The company continues environmental management based on ISO14001 certification obtained in 2002, promoting CO2 reduction, pollution prevention, and energy conservation. In terms of human capital, it has established OJT, rank-based training programs, and a qualification acquisition allowance system, targeting 100 company-wide qualified personnel and at least 2 female section-manager-level employees by 2030. The FY2025 (ending September 2025) qualification acquisition target for new graduates (3 people) was not achieved (0 people), but new qualification acquisitions among existing employees reached 6, exceeding the target. The ratio of female managers (section-manager level and above) stands at 0%, representing a challenge for improvement.
