Corporate governance
We will implement highly effective supervision over the management from an independent and objective standpoint and ensure the appropriate and efficient execution of business operations by improving the transparency of our decision-making, aiming to our sustainable growth as well as the medium- and long-term improvement of our corporate value.
Appoint several outside Directors, who have a high level of independence that fulfills our independence criteria and are expected to contribute to the company management with a high level of knowledge in their respective fields.
Maintain a highly transparent and objective Directors’ and officers’ remuneration system, which can increase their motivation to contribute to our medium- and long-term improvement of our company’s performance and the improvement of our corporate value.
Continue to implement measures to strengthen the supervising function of the Board of Directors, through an annual evaluation of the Board of Directors.
We have maintained the diversity of the Board of Directors (always appointing one third or higher percentage of outside Directors—four outside Directors out of 10 Directors; two female Directors out of 10 Directors; two female Audit & Supervisory Board Members; and one outside Director and one outside Audit & Supervisory Board Member with extensive corporate management experience).
The majority (four out of seven members) of the Governance, Nomination and Remuneration Committee and its chair continue to be outside Directors.
The chair of the Women’s Advancement Committee is a female outside Director. The ratios of outside officers and female members have been increased to a majority (four out of seven members in each case).
We conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the Board of Directors with the support of an external consultant and confirmed that the effectiveness of our Board continues to be ensured.
