Corporate Governance

Basic Approach to Corporate Governance

The FUJISOFT GROUP (“the Group”) will operate with the aim of “becoming an innovative corporate group that links ICT development to greater value for customers,” under its basic philosophy. The Group has built an organizational structure that can respond quickly to changes in the business environment, enhancing its corporate governance by ensuring management health and efficiency and increasing management transparency by pressing forward with the following initiatives.

(1) The Group has introduced the operating officer system to accelerate the speed of decision-making and strengthen the management supervisory function by clarifying the responsibility for execution of business, improving the efficiency and increasing the speed of business operation and streamlining the Board of Directors.

(2) While the Group has adopted a company with a board of auditors as an institutional design as a company, the Group deliberates on significant matters to be submitted to the Board of Directors for discussion in advance at the Nomination Committee, the Compensation Committee and the Ethics Committee, which are established as voluntary organs in which outside directors also participate as members.

(3) All outside directors of the Group meet the requirements described in the judgment criteria for independent officers established by the Tokyo Stock Exchange. They are capable of exercising supervision and advice from an unbiased external standpoint and simultaneously possess deep insight and extensive knowledge and experience in the area in which they specialize.

くBasic Philosophy>
Aiming to become a corporate group
that contributes to society,

provides satisfaction to customers,

initiates eco-friendly activities

and believes in a comfortable and rewarding environment.
