Board of Directors
Corporate Governance Shareholders Board of Directors Audit Committee Articles of Incorporation

To effectively perform its management supervisory function and make independent decisions, the Board of Directors is composed primarily of independent directors.

Currently, the Board of Directors is comprised of eight directors: two executive directors and six independent directors. Within the Board there are five standing committees: the Governance, Evaluation and compensation, Management, Sustainability, and Audit Committees, as well as non-standing committees such as the Independent Directors Nomination Committee and the CEO Nomination Committee.

The Board capitalizes on each director's expertise and is structured in such a way that it facilitates more effective and thoughtful discussion and decision-making by establishing committee roles within the Board.
