Our Basic Approach to Corporate Governance
We aim to achieve sustainable growth and long-term enhancement of corporate value by realizing our management philosophy: "The Company exists for the customers and prospers together alongside our staff members". This philosophy forms the foundation of our corporate governance.
To maximize corporate value, shareholder value, and customer value, we strive to collect information and make decisions swiftly and properly.
In April 2025, we strengthened our corporate governance framework by abolishing "Executive Officer System" and introducing "Managerial Position System".
Since June 2001, we have appointed outside directors to our Board of Directors. Through mutual monitoring among directors, we ensure transparency and compliance.
Outside directors are registered as independent officers with the Tokyo Stock Exchange and reflect stakeholder perspectives to our management from an objective standpoint.
In 2022, we established the Nomination and Compensation Committee to clarify the roles and responsibilities of directors.
We have also appointed outside auditors to reinforce monitoring Board of Directors. These outside auditors are likewise registered as independent officers with the Tokyo Stock Exchange.
We will continue to strengthen our supervisory functions and realize high standards of corporate governance. Through wholesome development, we aim to deliver satisfaction to our stakeholders consistently.

Basic Stance to Corporate Governance Code
Since June 2015, the corporate governance code has been applied obligatory. Our basic stance to corporate governance code is to strive for sustainable growth and enhance mid-and long-term corporate values in a self-motivated manner, thus leading us to contribute to the betterment of the company, investors and the economy as a whole.
Kimura Unity has positioned the sustainable growth and the stable mid- and long-term growth of corporate value as priority management issues. We evaluate and review our system for each principle to be observed and followed periodically. In reference to our efforts concerning specific governance code, the information is disclosed in our report on corporate governance.
