Corporate Governance
Basic Approach
Our Group’s philosophy is to remain a company that achieves sustainable growth together with our shareholders through organizational management that prioritizes customer-first principles and a focus on humanity.
e believe that the foundation of corporate governance lies in establishing an organizational structure capable of responding swiftly to changes in the business environment and making sound decisions based on our corporate philosophy. We intend to further strengthen our current system of directors and auditors while striving for more transparent and fair management."
- Status of the Risk Management Framework
Our Group has long recognized the importance of not only complying with laws and regulations but also acting in accordance with social norms and fulfilling our responsibilities, and we are committed to upholding corporate ethics.
In addition to actively conducting audits by corporate auditors and internal audits, we have appointed an executive in charge of Group corporate governance and established a Compliance Committee comprising members from relevant departments—including the General Affairs Department, Human Resources Department, Accounting Department, Risk Management Department, and Internal Audit Office—as well as representatives from the responsible departments of each Group company. The Committee determines measures to address risks and promotes them in cooperation with relevant departments, and a system is in place to report these activities to the Board of Directors as needed.

Governance Structure
Our Board of Directors consists of 11 directors (including 2 outside directors), and our Board of Auditors consists of 3 auditors (including 2 outside auditors).
The Board of Directors is positioned as the body responsible for determining basic management policies, matters prescribed by law, and other important management issues, as well as supervising the execution of duties by directors. It meets once a month and convenes as needed to ensure a system in which members can mutually monitor the execution of duties.
Furthermore, one of the three auditors serves as a full-time auditor. In addition to attending important meetings such as Board of Directors meetings and Group Executive Meetings, this auditor actively conducts operational audits of the Group and, together with the two outside auditors (one of whom is an independent director), verifies the legality and appropriateness of business operations. Furthermore, as part of our internal audit system, we have an Internal Audit Office that conducts internal audits as needed to verify that operations are being conducted appropriately in accordance with internal regulations and other guidelines. Together with the audits conducted by the corporate auditors, this creates an environment where we can verify the legality of business operations.
The certified public accountants who performed our Company’s financial audit consist of six certified public accountants affiliated with the Nihonbashi Office of the audit firm, along with several others, ensuring an environment where audits are conducted from a fair and impartial standpoint.
Internal Control Initiatives
Our company and each of our group companies (hereinafter referred to as “the Group”) will establish and maintain an internal control system to ensure a framework for building appropriate organizational structures, establishing regulations and rules, communicating information, and conducting monitoring. This is to enable all officers and employees of the Group to embody our corporate philosophy—“People and their hearts are everything”—which we have cherished since our founding. Furthermore, by continuously reviewing this system, we aim to achieve a proper and efficient organizational structure.
