Assessment of the Effectiveness of the Board of Directors

To enhance the functioning of the Board of Directors, our Company analyzes and evaluates the effectiveness of the board every year and releases a summary of the findings. In order for the Board of Directors to fulfill its roles, function at a high level, share information on essential issues, and hold discussions on initiatives to resolve issues, in fiscal 2022 we adopted a questionnaire that concretely describes matters calling for further improvement and priority matters for discussion. The findings of the questionnaire then undergo discussion by the Board of Directors.
