The GALILEI Group is dedicated to promoting fair corporate activities with a strong focus on management transparency. Our goals are to achieve sustainable growth rooted in the trust of society, and to enhance our corporate value over the medium to long term.
We have transitioned to a company with an Audit and Supervisory Committee. This change aims to enable faster, more flexible decision-making processes and strengthen oversight. It also enhances discussions on business management strategies. We have established the Nomination Advisory Committee and the Remuneration Advisory Committee, primarily composed of independent outside directors, to review officer nomination and remuneration. This is to ensure objectivity and transparency in the nomination and remuneration decision-making process.
The Audit and Supervisory Committee audits the execution of job duties by the president and other directors. It also oversees the development and implementation of the internal control system.
The Nomination Advisory Committee serves as the advisory body to the Board of Directors to ensure objectivity and transparency in the process of appointing or removing directors and executive officers. The Committee screens candidates based on their competency and aptitude, and the Board selects them based on the Committee’s recommendations.
The Remuneration Advisory Committee serves as the advisory body to the Board of Directors to ensure the objectivity and transparency in the process of determining directors' remuneration.

This includes focusing on areas such as diversity, environmental stewardship, and resources, encompassing both ESG and CSR activities. Our aim is to be recognized as a “Happiness Creation Company.”

We have adopted the “Policy for Determining Remuneration and Other Payments for Individuals” by a resolution of the meeting of the Board of Directors held on April 1, 2025. Remuneration of our directors is linked to shareholder returns to ensure that it fully serves as an incentive to sustainably increase the company’s value. It is our policy to use appropriate criteria for determining each director’s remuneration, which take into account their roles and responsibilities.
We assess the effectiveness of the Board of Directors to improve its performance and decision-making capabilities. We conduct the assessment annually at a designated time and report the assessment results to the Board of Directors for analysis, discussion, and review.
The GALILEI Group holds a financial results briefing at which the President presents financial results and the management policy of the Group to institutional investors on a half-year basis.
Shareholders and investors can meet individually with the top management and the staff in charge of investor relations in Corporate Planning Section, General Affairs Group. They are also invited to exclusive factory tours and other events.
To ensure adherence to laws and regulations, business ethics, and our company rules during the course of business operations, we have established a set of Compliance Guidelines. These guidelines serve as a code of conduct, outlining the fundamental principles and standards that must be followed by all employees. To reinforce the importance of these guidelines, we regularly conduct compliance training for all employees of the GALILEI Group.
In addition, we regularly publish Compliance Newsletters on our intranet, which explain internal rules that are relevant to everyday work and things that everyone should be aware of. This is part of our eorts to raise compliance awareness among employees. The Legal Department identies the laws and regulations that we should be particularly aware of when we carry out business operations. If any of those laws and regulations are amended, the Legal Department will promptly notify the operating companies and instruct them to take necessary actions.
We have established a Compliance Committee both at GALILEI CO. LTD. and at its operating companies to advance our compliance efforts. The Compliance Committee at GALILEI CO. LTD., chaired by the president, formulates the Group’s compliance policy and action plans, based on which the Compliance Committee at each operating company develops and implements its own action plan. This structure ensures that compliance efforts are promoted effectively across the GALILEI Group. Quarterly reports on the operating companies’ compliance activities are organized by the Compliance Committee Administrative Office of GALILEI CO. LTD. and presented to the Board of Directors.

We also provide regular training for our suppliers and vendors. Training about specific topics that we organize from time to time, such as the Subcontract Act, helps our employees to improve their knowledge of laws and regulations, and 14 topic-specific training sessions were held in FY2024.

We have implemented an internal whistleblowing system to swiftly detect and address instances of fraud or corruption. This system includes both an external point of contact, provided by a law firm, and an internal contact point within our Internal Audit Department. Employees are able to raise their concerns anonymously. When a concern is raised or reported, the Internal Audit Department and other relevant departments initiate a prompt investigation to resolve the issue as quickly as possible. During the investigation, we take all necessary measures to protect the whistleblower’s privacy and to ensure that the whistleblower is not unfairly treated, and we prohibit retaliation. To further promote compliance efforts and build even stronger relationships with business partners, we have also set up a Harassment Hotline handled by the Human Resources Department as well as a Compliance Hotline for our business partners to report concerns.
The GALILEI Group has incorporated the “Fair and Equitable Business Transactions” section into its Code of Conduct (Compliance Guidelines) to prevent corruption and bribery.
In 2023, we also established and distributed the GALILEI Group Sustainable Procurement Guidelines to our business partners to fully eradicate corruption and bribery across our entire supply chain.
The GALILEI Group has incorporated the “Protection of Personal Information” section into the Code of Conduct (Compliance Guidelines) to ensure that no personal information is leaked or used for non-business purposes.
The GALILEI Group has incorporated the “Resoluteness in Dealing with Anti-Social Forces” section into the Code of Conduct (Compliance Guidelines) to stand firm against anti-social forces and to ensure that we do not have any relationships whatsoever with them. In addition, we strive to build and maintain at all times relationships of trust with the police and other external organizations. In the event of an emergency, we will work closely with those external organizations to ensure the safety of our companies and all stakeholders.
The GALILEI Group maintains highly transparent and sound relationships with political or administrative organizations. If we make donations or offer benefits or favors, we will ensure that we follow the proper procedures and comply with all applicable laws and regulations as well as our company rules.
The GALILEI Group effectively minimizes and manages risks associated with its business operations in accordance with its Risk Management Rule.
We have formed the Risk Management Committee to analyze, assess, and manage various risks that could negatively impact our business execution or resources. Following the transition to the holding company structure, the Risk Management Committee has become a group-wide committee to maintain the Group’s risk management efforts. We report on risk management to the Board of Directors on a quarterly basis.
The Risk Management Committee identifies potential risks, prioritizes them, and develops mitigation strategies for those with the highest priority and impact.
The GALILEI Group has the Business Continuity Plan (BCP) in place. The BCP is intended to minimize damage to business assets with human lives placed at the top priority and ensure that business operations can continue or be restored quickly during and after a crisis such as a major disaster.
The GALILEI Group has the “Business Continuity Plan Implementation Guidelines” and the “Disaster and Emergency Response Manual” that outline the procedures to locate employees and continue business operations in the event of an emergency. To improve the effectiveness of the BCP, we perform risk assessments at each site regularly, conduct a regular emergency drill according to the manual, and strengthen emergency preparedness including emergency kits and supplies. The Group’s Head Office building is located in a designated area at risk of inundation in the flood hazard map. We are prepared to respond to possible floods, for example, by having office rooms on the 3rd or higher floor of the building and providing emergency generators.
