Corporate Governance

Basic Policy on Corporate Governance

Our Group recognizes that the proper establishment and operation of corporate governance is one of the most important management issues in order to respond to the trust of our shareholders and other stakeholders and to continue to increase the corporate value of the Group as a whole, and strives to improve it.

Basically, we will establish a system for autonomous control of management entrusted by shareholders so that directors can conduct management fairly and efficiently. At the same time, we will ensure appropriate and timely information disclosure and accountability, and conduct management transparently. In this way, we will be able to constantly receive management oversight from our stakeholders and make constant improvements.

  1. Securing the Rights and Equality of Shareholders
    We shall respond practically so that the rights of all shareholders can be substantially secured, and shall develop an environment for doing so.
  2. Appropriate Cooperation with Stakeholders Other Than Shareholders
    We shall conduct our business activities in accordance with CSR Basic Policy stipulated by us.
    CSR Basic Policy: "We will contribute to the sustainable development of society through dialog with all stakeholders, while being aware of our corporate social responsibilities."
    Specifically, it shall be in accordance with CSR Activity Policy defined by us.
  3. Appropriate Information Disclosure and Securing Transparency

    The Board of Directors makes decisions on management policies, matters stipulated by law, and other important matters related to management. The Board of Directors is positioned as a body that supervises the status of business execution, and meets at least once a month in principle to deliberate on these matters.The Company receives advice from counsel and other experts to make appropriate decisions.
    In order to embody our management strategy, the Board of Directors shall decide on a medium-term management plan with a multi-year period, which will be incorporated into the annual plan for each fiscal year, and developed downward in a manner linked to the budget system and the personnel system.
    We shall develop an internal control system that is organically integrated with corporate governance to ensure the effectiveness and efficiency of our operations, the reliability of our financial reporting, and compliance with laws and regulations, and shall continuously improve our existing rules, organizations, and operating methods.
  5. Dialogue with Shareholders
    We will not only disseminate information to our shareholders, but will also engage in two-way communication through general meetings of shareholders, our website, and individual explanations to analysts.
