Under HOYA’s “company-with-nomination committees” management system, business decision makings areaccelerated by giving executive officers authority to manage business. At the same time, three committees -Nomination, Compensation and Audit - were established, with all members being independent directors at HOYA,to ensure the effectiveness of management supervision by the Board of Directors. Adopting this system enables usto clearly separate the execution and supervision of corporate management. We aim to ensure efficientmanagement and improve the overall soundness and transparency of management.
