Governance
The company operates as a company with a board of corporate auditors, and its board of directors consists of 8 directors (including 3 independent outside directors). It has introduced an executive officer system to separate management from execution, and has strengthened governance by establishing a voluntary Officer Personnel Committee (comprising the Representative Director and 3 independent outside directors) that handles both nomination and compensation functions.
Risk Management
The company has established a risk management framework in which the President and Representative Director serves as the overall officer in charge; key risks are identified, and the responsible department in charge formulates, implements, and monitors countermeasure plans. Each business formulates and trains on its BCP (Business Continuity Plan), and the company-wide Security Committee also carries out information security responses, with the status of these activities reported to the Board of Directors in principle at least once a year.
