Basic Approach to Corporate Governance

We chose to be “a company with the Audit and Supervisory Committee” in order to streamline decision making and business execution processes by transferring part of decision-making authority for the execution of important operations from the Board of Directors to Directors, deepen discussions on medium-to long-term management strategies, and strengthen the supervisory functions of the Board of Directors, thus tightening corporate governance and improving corporate value further.
