1-1. Our board principles
Independence and oversight
We safeguard the board's independence so it can provide objective oversight and hold management accountable. Outside directors help keep decisions fair, objective, and free from bias toward particular interests.
Expertise and diversity
We appoint directors with substantial experience and expertise in industry, technology, finance, accounting, law, and other fields. We select directors without discrimination based on gender, age, or nationality. These diverse perspectives inform the board's review and approval of our key medium- and long-term strategies.
Transparent decisions and shareholder communication
We hold regular and special board meetings in accordance with applicable laws and board rules. To build trust with shareholders and investors, we disclose key business matters and board resolutions promptly and transparently, following the required legal procedures.
