As a company with a Board of Corporate Auditors, the company comprises 13 directors (5 outside) and 5 corporate auditors (3 outside). All outside officers are independent officers, and a voluntary advisory committee combining nomination and compensation functions (composed solely of outside officers) has been established since 2015, with an annual effectiveness evaluation of the Board of Directors conducted.
Risk Management
A Sustainability Promotion Committee chaired by the Representative Director and President serves as the central body, working in coordination with the BCM Promotion Committee and the Corporate Ethics and Conduct Committee—three committees in total—to comprehensively manage company-wide risk. Risks and opportunities are assessed for materiality from the perspectives of financial impact, likelihood of occurrence, timing of emergence, and social/environmental impact, with reviews conducted at least once a year.

Dividend Policy
The basic policy is to provide stable and continuous profit distribution to shareholders, comprehensively considering business performance, payout ratio, etc., while maintaining a stable financial base and balancing investment in growth businesses with shareholder returns. Dividends are paid twice a year: an interim dividend (resolved by the Board of Directors) and a year-end dividend (resolved by the general shareholders' meeting). For FY2026 (ending March 2026), the annual dividend is ¥40 (interim ¥18 + year-end ¥22), with a payout ratio of 17.0%. For FY2027 (ending March 2027), an annual dividend of ¥41 (interim ¥19 + year-end ¥22) is planned. Under the FY2026–FY2028 medium-term management plan, the company has set a policy of progressive dividends through raising the payout ratio based on net income excluding one-off factors such as extraordinary gains and losses. Regarding share buybacks, the policy is to implement them flexibly and proactively, taking into account the balance with growth investment, stock price levels, and capital efficiency. Note that a 2-for-1 stock split was implemented effective October 1, 2024 (the previous fiscal year's annual dividend was equivalent to ¥38 after adjusting for the split).
