Governance
Company with a Board of Corporate Auditors. Composed of 7 directors (2 outside directors) and 4 corporate auditors (all outside auditors). No nomination committee or compensation committee is established. The Internal Audit Office, reporting directly to the President, periodically audits compliance with laws and the articles of incorporation, and the company employs a management structure in which business execution is overseen through a weekly Business Execution Confirmation Meeting (Monday Meeting) and a monthly Management Meeting.
Risk Management
In addition to ongoing management challenges such as securing profitability and human resources, the company also identifies social and environmental issues, geopolitical risk, and natural disaster risk as corporate risks. Sustainability issues are positioned as risks arising from changes in the external environment, and a framework has been established for deliberation and response at each relevant body (the Monday Meeting, Management Committee, and Board of Directors). Risk regulations are established for each department, and the Internal Audit Office confirms the status of compliance.

Actual results for FY2025 (ended June 2025) were a year-end dividend of ¥30 (annual total of ¥30). The forecast for FY2026 (ending June 2026) is a year-end dividend of ¥30 (annual total of ¥30), unchanged from the most recently announced forecast.
