Glory’s corporate philosophy guides its efforts to continuously improve corporate value through sound and efficient business management so that the Company can exist in harmony with society and earn the trust and support of all stakeholders. None of this can be achieved without a firm commitment to the continuing improvement of corporate governance.
The Company will continue its efforts to strengthen the supervisory and executive functions of management, accelerate decision-making, ensure transparency and objectivity, and enhance compliance management to further increase our corporate value.
Glory adopted the system of a “Company with Audit & Supervisory Committee” on June, 2020, in order to further promote the strengthening of supervisory function of the Board of Directors and acceleration and efficiency of its decision-making regarding the management. Further, decisions on important business execution are flexibly delegated to Directors and an executive officer system is introduced to aim for increase of the speed and efficiency of business management. In addition, the Company is working to improve the transparency and objectivity of decision making with regard to important matters of management by enhancing both the supervisory functions of the Board of Directors, which includes four Outside Directors, and the audit and supervisory functions of the Audit & Supervisory Committee as well as by establishing committees such as the Nomination Advisory Committee and Compensation Advisory Committee.
Glory’s basic policy on corporate governance is set out in the Corporate Governance Guidelines.
The Company’s Board of Directors is composed of eleven Directors, eight of which are Directors who are not Audit & Supervisory Committee Members and three Directors who are Audit & Supervisory Committee Members, including four independent Outside Directors. The Board decides the important business policies of the Company and the Group, supervises business execution, and receives reports on the status of business execution. Further, in order to expedite decision-making, decisions on important business execution are flexibly delegated to the Directors, thereby enabling expedited and flexible decision-making.
The Company’s Audit & Supervisory Committee is composed of three Directors who are Audit & Supervisory Committee Members, including two independent Outside Directors. Audit & Supervisory Committee conducts audits based on an annual corporate audit plan determined in accordance with the audit policy and the assignment of duties determined by the Audit & Supervisory Committee by utilizing the internal control system and close cooperation with Internal Audit Department and the accounting auditor. Based on these audits, at the Audit & Supervisor Committee, they share information regarding the status of implementation and results of the audits and exchange opinions.
Audit & Supervisory Committee and the Company’s accounting auditors work in close collaboration to enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of their respective audit operations. In addition to the regular meetings held several times annually, they meet on an ad hoc basis, endeavoring to mutually ensure appropriateness and credibility of performance of their duties through such measures as providing explanation and consultation, or questioning and confirmation on matters that require special attention, regarding the annual audit plans and site audit plans (including audits of consolidated subsidiaries) at the beginning of each business year.
Further, Audit & Supervisory Committee and the Internal Audit Department of the Company mutually work in close collaboration to enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of their respective audit operations. Audit & Supervisory Committee Members receive and confirm copies of the audit notification stating such matters as the schedule, subject, purpose, method and other matters of the relevant audit which is given from the Internal Audit Department whenever they implement an audit pursuant to the annual audit plan. After completion of the audit, Audit & Supervisory Committee Members receive explanations concerning matters pointed out and status of implementation of improvement by way of the report on implementation of internal audits, based on which mutual exchange of opinions is conducted between Audit & Supervisory Committee Members and the Internal Audit Department personnel.
In order to ensure transparency and objectivity in appointing Directors and Executive Officers, and determining remuneration for them, the Company has established two advisory bodies of the Board of Directors, the Nomination Advisory Committee and Compensation Advisory Committee, each with at least half of the members and the chairperson being independent Outside Directors. The members and chairperson of each such committee are appointed by the Board of Directors.
