Governance structure
Company with an Audit and Supervisory Committeemajor shareholder; voting rights ratio not stated
When one company holds most of the voting rights, its wishes are more likely to prevail in management. How the interests of minority shareholders are protected is a key issue.
This is the number of people reported to the exchange as independent officers. Whether someone is an outside officer and whether they qualify as independent are separate determinations.
The independent officer notification was updated because a proposal for the election of outside directors will be submitted to the Annual General Meeting of Shareholders scheduled for 23 June 2026. Okamoto Hideaki (岡本秀彰) is an outside director, but has not been designated as an independent officer because he is an executive of ITOCHU Corporation.
