4. Development of Internal Control Systems to Ensure the Appropriateness of Business Operations

The Company has adopted the following resolution on the basic policy of the internal control system.

(1) Our Basic Approach to the Internal Control System

The Board of Directors has adopted resolutions on systems to ensure that the execution of duties by the Company's Directors, Members of the Board, complies with laws and regulations and the Articles of Incorporation, and other systems stipulated by the Ministry of Justice as necessary to ensure the appropriateness of business operations of a stock company. The details of those resolutions are as follows.

  1. Systems to Ensure that the Execution of Duties by Directors, Members of the Board, Complies with Laws and Regulations and the Articles of

Incorporation

The Company's Board of Directors is composed of Directors who are familiar with the Company's business and Directors who are members of the Audit & Supervisory Committee, who have excellent insight into general management or legal expertise, in order to speed up management decisions and improve Board discussions, including the formulation of management policies and strategies at the Company. At the same time, the Company is working to maintain and strengthen the transparency and soundness of management by enhancing auditing functions of the Board of Directors

In line with this corporate structure, the Board of Directors has resolved the Corporate Code of Conduct, which is a fundamental imperative in the conduct of the Company's business activities and stipulates that compliance with this Code is the responsibility of all directors, officers and employees.

The Compliance & Risk Management Committee has been established for the purpose of ensuring compliance with laws, regulations, and social norms, as well as to take preventive measures against risks surrounding the Company's business and to make prompt and appropriate decisions and responses when such risks arise. The Company has also set up the internal and external Compliance Consultation & Reporting Desks to receive constructive suggestions and suggestions from employees (including directors and executive officers) on matters that could seriously affect the Company's reputation for compliance.

The Company has also established a Compliance Manual, which briefly describes the basic rules that directors, executive officers, and other employees should observe in the conduct of their corporate activities.

Under this structure, the Company is committed to encouraging compliance on a daily basis.

  1. System for Ensuring the Appropriateness of Business Operations
  1. System for the Storage and Management of Information relating to the Execution of Duties by Directors, Members of the Board
    Information concerning the execution of duties by Directors (excluding those who are members of the Audit & Supervisory Committee) is recorded in the minutes of the Board of Directors meetings, approval documents and other documents. This information is stored and managed appropriately through the establishment of internal regulations, such as the Approval Documents Regulation, the Authority Standard Regulation, the Document Management Regulation, and the Electronic Information Management Regulations.
  2. Rules and other Systems for Managing the Risk of Loss

Each division of the Company identifies and grasps the risks associated with its business activities and makes regular efforts to minimise these risks. In addition, the Compliance & Risk Management Committee confirms the status of company-wide risks that could have a significant impact on management. The Company also has a system of contingency plans in place in the unlikely event of a risk occurring.

  1. System to Ensure the Efficient Execution of Duties by Directors, Members of the Board By resolution of the Board of Directors as a company with an Audit & Supervisory

Committee, the Company delegates some of the important business decisions to the Directors (excluding those who are members of the Audit & Supervisory Committee) and introduces an executive officer system to separate the management decision-making and supervisory functions from the business execution functions, so that the Board of Directors can make decisions quickly and efficiently.

The Company has also established appropriate decision-making rules through the Division Duties Regulation, the Authority Standard Regulation, and other internal regulations, and have put in place a system to ensure the proper and efficient execution of duties.

The Board of Directors makes decisions on important management matters after deliberation by the necessary members of the Management Committee and other committees as necessary.

  1. System to Ensure that the Execution of Duties by Employees Complies with Laws and Regulations and the Articles of Incorporation
    As described in (2) above, the Company has developed such a system by establishing the Corporate Code of Conduct and the Compliance & Risk Management Committee. In addition, the Company has established the Compliance Consultation & Reporting System to prevent misconduct.
