In Joshin’s evaluation of the effectiveness of the Board of Directors, bolstering the Board’s monitoring functions emerged as a key issue. With my appointment as a director serving as an Audit and Supervisory Committee member, I intend to go beyond the traditional check-and-balance role and provide advice from a management perspective, contributing to the enhancement of our corporate value.

 

As a certified public accountant, I have experience auditing storebased businesses as well as managing corporate operations as a director at an e-commerce company. I have also been involved in the transition of a company with a Board of Auditors into a company with an Audit and Supervisory Committee. Drawing on these experiences, I will contribute to improving profitability through recommendations based on monitoring profitability by category, channel, and store, while fulfilling my supervisory responsibilities over management as an Audit and Supervisory Committee member. In doing so, I aim to help further enhance the effectiveness of the Board of Directors. In addition, as a member of the Nomination and Compensation Committee, I will actively engage in key matters such as developing and operating management staff evaluation and compensation systems to support sustainable growth, as well as formulating a robust succession plan.
