Basic Thinking and Measures
Regarding Corporate Governance
- At Meiko Trans, the board of directors
addresses all critical matters, debating and discussing
the state of corporate performance, action measures, and
other such matters. To achieve even greater transparency
in business operations and a stronger corporate constitution,
the board of directors also appoints two directors from
outside the company, soliciting a broad range of valuable
and insightful opinions and advice that serve to enhance
business operations.
- The company has adopted a system of
corporate auditors under which three of the company's
four auditors are appointed from outside the company,
enhancing the fairness of audits. The company's auditors
attend meetings of the board of directors as well as other
important meetings, auditing the company's task execution,
legal compliance, decision-making, internal systems, and
other aspects of the company, as well as also actively
examining other Group companies.
- The company holds Group business conferences
attended by the executive management of Meiko Trans' Group
enterprises, assessing the state of operations at member
companies and determining policies for investment plans
and other important issues in order to accommodate changes
in the business climate.
- We appoint Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu
as our external auditor.They audit our settlement of accounts
on a quarterly basis and provide us with professional
advice on compliance issues. We also have a contracted
corporate lawyer who advises us on legal issues.
- In these ways, we strive to ensure and
strengthen the execution of corporate governance, and
aim to conduct business fairly and with a high degree
of transparence.
