Effectiveness of the Board of Directors

Evaluation of the effectiveness of the Board of Directors

After the end of every fiscal year, we evaluated the function and other duties to be fulfilled by the Board of Directors, mainly to improve management issues.
To ensure the transparency of responses and achieve a highly objective effectiveness evaluation, we have implemented a process where an external survey service provider conducts the questionnaires. The Board of Directors Secretariat then, after receiving advice from the external service provider, analyzes the results and reports them to the Board of Directors.
Subsequent to FY 2022, we confirmed that our Board of Directors and governance system for FY 2023 generally functioned effectively.
