Board of Directors/Major meetings

As the highest decision-making management body, the Board of Directors assumes the role of a driver to create social value and improve corporate value. This is done by discussing important management issues, such as the medium- to longterm management policies and business strategies that adhere to the management philosophy, and by supervising business operation by directors and executive officers.

The Board of Directors of our group consists of eight members: five directors (excluding directors who serve as Audit and Supervisory Committee members), of which three are outside directors, and three directors who serve as Audit and Supervisory Committee members, all of whom are outside directors. The Board convenes, in principle, at least once a month and serves as the highest decision-making body. It determines key management matters such as medium- to long-term management policies and business strategies aimed at creating social and corporate value. Additionally, based on the rules of the Board of Directors, it supervises the execution of duties by directors and executive officers appointed by the Board of Directors.
