Governance
In June 2026, the company transitioned from a company with a board of company auditors to a company with an audit and supervisory committee. The board of directors consists of 7 directors (of which 4 are outside directors), with outside directors holding a majority. A Nomination and Compensation Advisory Committee and a Corporate Governance Committee have been established as advisory bodies to the board of directors.
Risk Management
Risk management is implemented centered on the Compliance and Risk Management Committee, which meets once a month. In the event of an unforeseen situation, a response headquarters headed by the President is established, and a framework is in place whereby the Internal Audit Office reports periodically to the Board of Directors and the Audit and Supervisory Committee. A hotline (internal reporting system) is also in operation.
