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 (through appointing always one third or higher percentage of outside Directors- 4 outside Directors out of 10 Directors, 2 female Directors out of 10 Directors, 2 female Audit & Supervisory Board Members, and an outside Director and an outside Audit & Supervisory Board Member who had wide range of sufficient experiences in corporate management).
We have restructured the Governance and Remuneration Committee and the Nomination Committee into the Governance, Nomination and Remuneration Committee, the chair of which being the outside Director and a majority of the members of which being the outside Directors (4 out of 7 members).
We have maintained the chair of the Women’s Advancement Committee being the female outside Director, and a half of the Women’s Advancement Committee being the outside Directors and the outside Audit & Supervisory Board Members, and the female members (3 out of 6 members respectively).
