Message from the Chair of the Board
Evolution and Duties
of the Board of Directors
in Supporting Growth Toward
the Next Stage
Under the Medium-Term Management Plan 2026, the Company is working toward achieving profit for the year of 200 billion yen in the Next Stage. To realize this goal, it is essential that we steadily cultivate new business opportunities and build them into sustainable results. To enhance the certainty of this growth, the Board of Directors believes it is increasingly vital to exercise our management supervisory function and make decisions based on highly effective and substantive discussions.
In addition, it has now been two years since the Company transitioned to a Company with an Audit and Supervisory Committee. During this period, by further delegating authority to executive directors, we have sought to accelerate management decision-making. At the Board of Directors, a framework has taken root that allows more focused discussions on key themes, such as the progress of the Medium-Term Management Plan, human capital strategies, digital transformation and sustainability. Furthermore, progress has been made in strengthening the supervisory function, including the expansion of information sharing with Outside Directors and the establishment of a process in which important proposals are shared at an early stage and discussions are deepened step by step. We recognize that steady progress is being made in achieving both faster decision-making and stronger supervisory function, which are the objectives of our organizational design.
As Chairman of the Board, it is my intention to take the lead in discussion oriented toward growth in the Next Stage while also contributing to the realization of sustainable corporate value enhancement, through effective monitoring from an independent position.
