As well as creating a management structure that can respond in a speedier and more agile way to changes in the management environment and ensuring transparency in legal compliance and management, DAIICHI SANKYO COMPANY, LIMITED has also strengthened oversight of management and conduct of operations, stressing the maintenance of an environment responsive to the trust of our stakeholders, our shareholders above all.
In concrete terms, by having a company centered on a Board of Corporate Auditors and employing a Corporate Officer System, corporate administration can be handled more rapidly. Furthermore, the oversight and conduct of corporate business are kept separate and handled by the board of directors and president respectively.
- ●The board members' term of office is set at one year to clarify management responsibility and to create a system that can respond adroitly to changes in the management environment. At the same time, four external directors are appointed to strengthen oversight of all aspects of corporate administration and to ensure management transparency.
- ●Along with the external corporate auditors, these four directors make up the Board of Corporate Auditors, and they monitor the legality and soundness of the management.
- ●To make our management more transparent, we have voluntarily established a nomination committee and a compensation committee, delegated by the board of directors, to discuss matters such as the personnel affairs and remuneration of directors and corporate officers. External directors make up the majority of both committees.
- ●The corporate officers responsible for the conduct of corporate affairs are appointed by the board of directors, with a one-year term of office. They are in charge of specific aspects of corporate administration under the control and supervision of the representative director and president. Persons appointed as corporate officers have a high level of expertise in their relevant business fields.
