Basic Concept |
|
| Our company aims to be admired by our shareholders and customers by raising our corporate value, meeting our corporate social responsibilities, and pursuing corporate governance, enabling us to make timely and competent management decisions and strengthen our competitiveness. |
| |
|
| Corporate Institutions |
|
To quickly react to the changing management environment and make timely management decisions, we have an effective management system in place.
First, we hold Management Review Board meetings as necessary to deliberate important management issues. This Board is the Company’s consultation organ composed of directors and statutory auditors.The Board of Directors can make timely decisions through the aid of the Management Review Board, which can also consider items not requiring Board of Director resolutions, allowing directors to share related information and for proper coordination to be arranged among the departments concerned.
To further reinforce the Board of Directors’ function to manage and supervise the Company’s operations, we have an external director on the Board of Directors. The external director is expected to join management decisions from a neutral and independent standpoint.
In June, 2004, we introduced the Executive Officer System to strengthen corporate governance and management efficiency by separating company management from business operations. Effective June 29, 2005, we also introduced the Chief Officer System, which is designed to clarify directors’ authorities and responsibilities and facilitate speedy management decisions. Given the above, we will work hard to reinforce the operating structure more than ever and boost operating efficiency.
To ensure the transparency of management, the Nomination Committee is in place, and serves as an advisory body to the Board of Directors. This Committee is responsible for selecting director and executive officer candidates, assessing performance of directors and executive officers in office, and preparing director and executive officer compensation plans for the Board of Directors. |

|
| Establishment of Compliance Committee |
|
| To perform social responsibilities required for an entity, we established the Compliance Committee on April 1, 2004. The Committee is involved in educating employees with a well-planned compliance awareness program, and tries to enhance and pursue business ethics based on relevant laws and ordinances, code of conduct and social standards. |
