Basic Approach to Corporate Governance

We view the establishment of corporate governance as vital to improving our corporate value, maximizing shareholder profits, and building positive relationships with stakeholders.
Specifically, we believe that the management (the representative director, directors, and executive officers), as stewards of the company, must:
- Exhibit self-discipline.
- Act judiciously when discharging their duties and responsibilities.
- Direct the company’s affairs in a way that ensures the company’s prosperity.
- Ensure sound financial health and promote reliable financial reporting.
- Uphold personal accountability by disclosing their actions transparently and forthrightly.
- Develop robust and effective internal controls.
In June 2018, we became a “company with an audit & supervisory committee” (kansa-tō i’inkai secchi kaisha). The members of our Audit & Supervisory Committee audit and supervise the performance of directors.

Corporate Governance Structure

As Geniee has adopted the Audit & Supervisory Committee system, we have established a Board of Directors, an Audit & Supervisory Committee, and an accounting auditor to serve as the main entities of our corporate governance structure. We also have established a Management Council and a Compliance Committee to serve as auxiliary bodies. We also have adopted an executive officer system. Executive officers execute business operations based on the guidance and orders of the Representative Director and President in accordance with basic policies outlined by the Board of Directors.

Board of Directors

Our Board of Directors comprises six members, three of whom also serve on the Audit & Supervisory Committee. Four of the members are outside directors. To ensure efficient and timely decision-making, the board holds regular monthly meetings and, if necessary, irregular meetings. In accordance with the Articles of Incorporation and relevant legislation, the board serves two key roles: it acts as our decision-making body and oversight body.

Audit & Supervisory Committee

Our Audit & Supervisory Committee comprises three independent outside directors. One of the members is a full-time Audit & Supervisory Committee member. Those members who also serve as directors attend meetings of the Board of Directors and other important internal bodies, during which they express their views about the directors’ performance. They formulate and execute audit plans, and they also hold regular monthly meetings and, if necessary, irregular meetings. The members also liaise regularly with our internal audit officer and our accounting auditor(s) to share audit information as necessary.

Management Council

The Management Council generally meets weekly. The following persons attend these meetings:
• One executive managing directors.
• Director who serve full-time on the Audit & Supervisory Committee.
• Executive officers.
• Mid-level managers.
• Anyone whose attendance is judged necessary by the representative director.
The council’s role is to make executive decisions within the range of its delegated authority so as to ensure smooth business operations. During meetings, the members discuss the Board of Directors’ agenda items as well as each department’s business reports and earnings results. The council also helps foster a shared awareness of business challenges we face by circulating important notices and directives.

Compliance Committee

Geniee has established a Compliance Committee comprised of managing directors, outside directors who are full-time members of our Audit & Supervisory Committee, department managers from various departments, as well as other members designated by the Representative Director and President as necessary. In principle, the committee convenes once every three months. We designate the Legal Group in the Corporate Planning Office as the lead group for the Compliance Committee. The committee is responsible for reinforcing compliance among directors and employees, working to promote adherence to relevant laws, the Articles of Incorporation, internal regulations, and social rules. The committee also conducts internal training and surveys cases of compliance violations.
