Basic Concept/Corporate Governance Structure
Basic Concept
We believe in the importance of improving management efficiency and integrity through establishing a transparent and fair management organization, speeding up the decision-making for important matters on the management, and strengthening the supervisory function of business execution, all of which contribute to improving corporate value.
We are well aware that it is the duty of the Company's directors and employees to put these ideas into practice, as well as complying with all laws and regulations and maintaining discipline, with consideration towards environmental and social issues to conduct a fair, transparent and appropriate business in an atmosphere of free competition. In this way, we show all stakeholders, including our shareholders, customers, business partners, employees, and local communities, that we value the trust that they place in us.
Our Company's officers and employees are small in number, allowing for uncomplicated information gathering and operations management when compared to a large-scale corporation with many staff members. Our corporate organization reflects this feature. We also appropriately arrange our human resources and strive to maintain a sense of balance between each department and committee to fully exert the functions of our organization.
