Basic Principles of Corporate Governance

We believe that the strengthening of corporate governance is essential to improve corporate value and, in turn, the common benefit of our shareholders. We recognize that favorable recognition by all stakeholders, including our shareholders and investors, as well as valued customers, suppliers, employees, and local communities, will contribute to the maximization of shareholder value. We also recognize that the enhancement of corporate governance is the most important aspect of management from the perspective of corporate social responsibility.

From the standpoint of further enhancing corporate governance by strengthening the supervisory functions of the Board of Directors, FUKOKU has transitioned to a “company with audit and Supervisory committee.” Further, we are striving to secure highly effective corporate governance by establishing a Compliance Committee, Internal Audit Office, and Risk Management Committee, etc., as a part of our internal control system.
