Dependence on Specific Individuals and Succession Risk

「The policy is to systematically develop potential successors to both individuals over sufficient time and with sufficient resources, with the Board of Directors taking an active and leading role, while securing capable personnel and focusing on improving the quality of officers and employees in order to build a management structure that is not excessively dependent on either individual.」

「As the business expands, the Group is currently delegating authority within its management organization and expanding its workforce to strengthen the organization. At the same time, in line with the expansion of its business areas, it is hiring specialists and experienced personnel in various fields, seeking to improve its organizational capabilities and build a structure that does not rely excessively on individual abilities.」

「The Company recognizes that Representative Director and Chairman Yusuke Koga (古賀 祐介) and Representative Director and President Masaki Kozue (梢 政樹) play major roles in decisions concerning the Group's overall management policies and strategies, and that the Group is highly dependent on them.」
