(1) System to ensure the properness of operations

The following is an overview of decisions regarding the system for ensuring that the directors of the Company and the Group execute their duties in accordance with laws, regulations, and the Articles of Incorporation, and the system for otherwise ensuring the appropriateness of business operations by the Company.

  1. Systems for ensuring compliance by Company and Group Company Directors with laws and regulations and the Articles of Incorporation in the performance of their duties
    The Company and the Group are cognizant that enhancing corporate governance is a key management issue and make it their fundamental policies to ensure total compliance with corporate ethics and laws and regulations, and to reinforce internal control systems while ensuring the soundness, efficiency and transparency of business operations and raising corporate value.
    To achieve such compliance, the Company has established Rules on Officers applicable to directors and the Board of Directors Rules applicable to the Board of Directors. To ensure appropriate management, the directors monitor each other's status of execution of duties at regularly-held Board of Directors meetings and at extraordinary meetings held on a dynamic basis as necessary. The Company has also established Organization Rules, Rules on the Allocation of Work Duties, Rules on Work Authority, and Rules on Internal Approval, clarifying the scope of authority of each director and ensuring that mutual supervision by directors is effective.
    In addition, the Company established an Audit Office under the direct authority of the Representative Director, President & COO. The Audit Office works in collaboration with the Business Administration Department-the Company's legal affairs division-to monitor the status of compliance with laws and regulations, the Articles of Incorporation, and other internal rules.
    The Company also has a board of auditors, and the auditors, including outside auditors conduct detailed audits regarding the execution of duties by the directors.
    The Company also established a CSR Promotion Committee (Corporate Social Responsibility Promotion Committee) chaired by the Representative Director, President and COO and established Information Disclosure Committee, Risk Management Committee, and Compliance Committee and Personal Information Management Committee as subordinate organizations. These organizations work to normalize decision-making and the execution of business operations throughout the Group.
  2. The systems for the preservation and control of information relating to the execution of duties by directors
    Information relating to the execution of duties by directors is appropriately and accurately controlled and preserved according to the qualities of the recording media in accordance with the Document Control Rules, which set forth the standards on the preparation and retention of documents, and the Document Control in Handling Manual, which sets forth detailed provisions on document retention procedures and periods.
  3. Rules and other systems relating to control of the risk of loss
    Potential risks that the Group faces include matters relating to economic conditions, exchange rates, country risks, price competition, product procurement capabilities, internal brand risks, legal regulation, market risks, major litigation, severance pay obligations, personal information, accidents, the environment, and information management. Responding divisions have been set for each risk and necessary and appropriate systems have been established to control risks under the authority of risk control officers and managers in each division.
    If any of the risks mentioned above should occur, the corresponding responding divisions will immediately take necessary and appropriate responsive measures to minimize the occurrence of damage under the direction of the risk control officers and managers.
