Each committee is composed of a majority of outside officers, and the Nomination and Compensation Committees are chaired by outside directors.
Risk Management
The company has established an integrated risk management framework centered on the Portfolio Management Committee, managing credit, market, country, compliance, climate change, and other risks on a company-wide basis. It implements authority control through its internal approval (ringi) system, verifies internal controls through the Internal Audit Department, and ensures the reliability of financial reporting through the J-SOX Committee.
Shareholder Returns
Continuing progressive dividends, with dividends per share of ¥115 (up ¥15 year-on-year) planned for FY2026 (ending March 2026) and ¥140 (up ¥25 year-on-year) for FY2027 (ending March 2027). During the Medium-Term Management Plan 2029 period, dividends and share buybacks will be implemented targeting approximately 50% of cumulative basic operating cash flow.
Dividend Policy
The policy is to return value directly to shareholders through dividends based on the level of reproducible cash-generating capacity, and to continue raising dividends progressively in line with the expansion of that cash-generating capacity. The annual dividend for FY2026 (ending March 2026) is planned at ¥115 per share (interim ¥55, year-end ¥60, up ¥15 year-on-year), with a payout ratio of 39.5%. For FY2027 (ending March 2027), a dividend of ¥140 per share (interim ¥70, year-end ¥70, up ¥25 year-on-year) is planned. The policy is to continue progressive dividends—maintaining or increasing dividends—throughout the Medium-Term Management Plan 2029 period (FY2027 (ending March 2027) to FY2029 (ending March 2029)). Share buybacks will be decided flexibly, including amount and timing, with objectives such as improving capital efficiency. In FY2026 (ending March 2026), a total of ¥200.0 billion in treasury shares was repurchased, and all treasury shares acquired during that period were retired. During the Medium-Term Management Plan 2029 period, the policy is to implement shareholder returns (dividends and share buybacks) targeting approximately 50% of cumulative basic operating cash flow over the three-year period.

With a target of net zero by 2050, the company has set a goal of halving GHG impact by 2030 (target: 17 million tons) and achieving a renewable energy ratio exceeding 30%, while implementing TCFD-aligned disclosure and internal carbon pricing.
