Governance

The Optorun Group conducts its business activities in compliance with domestic and international laws and social norms.

Corporate Governance

We recognize the importance of strengthening corporate governance in order to meet the trust and expectations of shareholders, customers, employees, and other stakeholders and to continuously improve corporate value. Our basic policy focuses on maintaining sound management, ensuring transparency, making prompt decisions in response to environmental changes, and clarifying responsibilities.

・Overview of Governance System

The Board of Directors and the Management Committee serve as the highest decision-making bodies. Their roles are clearly divided: the Board oversees management, while the Management Committee oversees business operations. Four outside directors, including three independent directors, are appointed to enhance objectivity. Corporate auditors monitor management functions. The Executive Officer System enables prompt decision-making, and key business matters are decided by the Management Committee. The Internal Audit Office conducts regular audits. The Risk Management Committee and Compliance Committee also conduct regular checks to support prompt decision-making in all situations.

・Establishment of Voluntary Compensation Committee

To enhance fairness, transparency, and objectivity in determining directors' compensation, opportunities for outside directors to participate in and advise on decisions are ensured. The committee is chaired by an outside director, and more than half of its members are independent outside directors.

・Patent Committee

A Patent Committee has been established to plan strategies related to intellectual property, promote IP acquisition, and protect the company’s rights, with the aim of improving long-term corporate value.

Compliance

We emphasize compliance and promote awareness so that all employees act with a spirit of legal compliance. Various systems and rules have been established to ensure strict adherence to laws.

・Compliance Committee

The Compliance Committee meets every three months to raise awareness among executives and employees and ensure appropriate responses to any violations.

・Internal Education

Regular training is conducted on insider trading regulations, timely disclosure, whistleblowing systems, relations with antisocial forces, overtime regulations, and fixed asset management.

・Whistleblowing System

A whistleblowing system is available to employees and business partners for reporting issues such as harassment, bribery, fraud, and other ethical violations. An independent law firm serves as the reporting contact to ensure confidentiality and prevent disadvantage to whistleblowers. A hotline via the Internal Audit Office is also available for business partners.

・Anti-Corruption

We strictly prohibit insider trading, relationships with antisocial forces, and violations of antimonopoly and competition laws. Employees must not engage in corrupt acts, including abuse of authority for personal or organizational gain. Anti-corruption policies are included in internal regulations and reinforced through training.

・Prohibition of Bribery

Improper entertainment, gifts, or acceptance of benefits involving public officials or equivalent persons are prohibited. Improper hospitality with business partners is also prohibited.

Risk Management

・Risk Management Committee

The committee meets every three months to identify and prevent risks, respond quickly when risks occur, minimize damage, and prevent recurrence. Risk management regulations guide these activities.

・Business Continuity Planning (BCP)

To ensure safety and maintain operations during major natural disasters such as earthquakes and floods, we implement a Business Continuity Plan.

・Employee Safety

A safety confirmation system allows checking employee safety and issuing emergency communications during disasters.

・Facility Safety

Seismic measures minimize structural damage.

・System and Data Safety

Measures are taken to prevent data loss or leakage due to disasters.
