The Board of Directors comprises 7 directors (3 of whom are outside directors) plus 3 Audit and Supervisory Committee members (2 of whom are independent outside members), and a Nomination and Compensation Advisory Committee chaired by an independent outside director has been established. This structure is designed to accelerate decision-making and strengthen the monitoring function.
Risk Management
With the Risk Management Steering Committee, chaired by the President, at its apex, the company has established the Business Risk Committee, the Ethics and Compliance Committee, and the Financial Instruments and Exchange Act Internal Control Evaluation Committee to implement multifaceted risk management across the group as a whole.

Introduced a progressive dividend policy for the first time; annual dividend for FY2026 (ending March 2026) raised to ¥138 per share (interim ¥68 + year-end ¥70). Payout ratio 56.4%, DOE 3.2%. FY2027 (ending March 2027) forecast at ¥150 (¥75 each). Share buybacks were essentially not conducted during the period (¥1 million).
Dividend Policy
Adopted a progressive dividend policy under which dividends will not be reduced. Forecast annual dividend for FY2027 (ending March 2027) is ¥150 per share (interim ¥75 + year-end ¥75), with a payout ratio of 68.8%. In addition to the existing policy (consolidated total payout ratio of 50% or a consolidated DOE floor of 3.5%), the introduction of the progressive dividend policy strengthens stable and continuous shareholder returns.
ESG
The company conducted climate change scenario analysis based on TCFD and has set SBT-certified GHG reduction targets (Scope 1+2: 42% reduction by FY2030 vs. FY2023; Scope 3: 25% reduction over the same period). In terms of human capital, it has set targets such as raising the ratio of female managers to 10% (FY2029 target) and achieving a 100% male childcare leave uptake rate, and has achieved a 100% completion rate for sustainability e-learning among all employees, as it works to deepen materiality-based management and ESG disclosure.
