Governance
The company has adopted a Company with Audit and Supervisory Committee structure, with a Board of Directors comprising 14 members (including 7 outside directors, a 50% outside ratio). Through an executive officer system, decision-making and oversight are separated from business execution, establishing an agile management structure.
Risk Management
The company employs a system in which each division manages the risks associated with its assigned operations, with monitoring conducted by the Internal Audit Office. A Compliance Committee, an Information Security Committee, and a Product Safety Committee have been established, and subsidiary risks are managed by the responsible division heads and controlled through a prior approval system.
Shareholder Returns
Revised the dividend policy to determine the annual dividend based on whichever is higher between the 40% standard on consolidated operating profit or the 60% consolidated payout ratio standard. For FY2026 (ending March 2026), the dividend per share is ¥42 interim and ¥177 year-end (total ¥219), with a payout ratio of 60.1%. Share buybacks were also conducted (¥99,927 million in the current fiscal year).
Dividend Policy
The total dividend amount is based on 40% of consolidated operating profit, and the annual dividend per share is determined as whichever is higher between the amount obtained by dividing this by the number of shares outstanding after deduction of treasury shares at fiscal year-end (rounded up to the nearest yen) and the amount based on the 60% consolidated payout ratio standard (rounded up to the nearest yen). The interim dividend is calculated based on 40% of consolidated operating profit for the interim period. Dividends are paid twice a year (interim and year-end). Note that the interim dividend for the current fiscal year was calculated based on the policy prior to the revision (the 33% standard on consolidated operating profit for the interim period).
ESG
The company has designated four sustainability priority areas—"customers, supply chain, employees, and the environment"—and is promoting multifaceted ESG activities, including climate change risk disclosure based on the TCFD recommendations, operation of CSR procurement guidelines, promotion of renewable energy utilization and energy conservation, and a male employee childcare leave uptake rate of 82%.
