Based on this management philosophy, this group will aim to be a “company indispensable to the beauty and health field,” and strive for an enriched form of corporate governance, which serves as the foundation and live up to the expectations of all our stakeholders (customers, employees, client enterprises, local communities, and shareholders) and continue to earn their trust.

Overview of the corporate governance system

As a company with a board of company auditors, we have established a general meeting of shareholders, board of directors, and board of auditors.
Among the fourteen directors on the board, six are outside board members, and among the four auditors, three are outside auditors. These nine people serve as independent officers in accordance with Tokyo Stock Exchange regulations.
Maintaining a high degree of independence f rom t he company, the independent officers cooperate and bring an outside perspective to the board of directors while increasing supervisory function and diversity.
Our board of directors serves a term of one year, which makes the mission and responsibility of each board member clear. Also, by adopting an executive officer system, the execution and supervision of duties in business management are separated, and the functions and responsibilities of board members and executive officers are clarified.
In addition, our corporate governance system includes a Nomination and Remuneration Advisory Committee in order to determine matters concerning the appointment of officers and remuneration for directors, etc. submitted to the general meeting of shareholders and provide responses to the board of directors, and a Group Presidents’ Council to ensure the steady and effective implementation of group company management, leadership, and guidance.
The Internal Control Supervision Office was established as an internal auditing division. Aiming for full cooperation with auditors, the office supervises internal auditing and the internal control system related to duties of each division and group companies, and creates an effective auditing system by maintaining the suitability and efficiency of business activities.
In the areas of compliance and risk management, it is our belief that all activities are thoroughly linked. Therefore, in order to maintain compliance and risk management in the company and our group, the Compliance Risk Committee was established.
