The Company's corporate governance structure is a "Company with an Audit & Supervisory Committee" as defined under the Companies Act of Japan. In this structure, Audit & Supervisory Committee members appointed by shareholders conduct audits of the execution of the duties by Directors as an independent body from the Board of Directors. This is the foundation for the Company's efforts to ensure and improve transparency, soundness, and efficiency of management. 

Under this structure, the Company has appointed multiple outside Audit & Supervisory Committee members who are highly independent. Annually, the Board of Directors analyzes and assesses its own effectiveness, confirms whether deliberations are conducted properly from the perspective of various stakeholders, and carries out initiatives for improvement.
