Corporate Governance Organization
Management System
The Nikon Group carries out business through an integrated in-house company system that includes Group companies. We have also established a management system that responds swiftly to changes in the business environment through our operating officer system. Furthermore, under a results-based evaluation system, we evaluate and confirm performance, thereby strengthening the relationship between performance and remuneration.
Board of Directors and Executive Committee
The Board of Directors makes prompt decisions on matters of importance to the Nikon Group and monitors the exercise of duties by directors. Two independent outside directors also sit on the board to strengthen supervisory functions.
The Executive Committee deliberates on and resolves major issues regarding the general operation of company business, internal controls and management, in accordance with the basic management policies as determined by the Board of Directors. This body also receives reports from each department regarding critical matters.
Compensation Committee
The Compensation Committee, which includes prominent figures from outside the Nikon Group, was set up to raise the objectivity and transparency of matters related to directors' compensation and to ensure that decisions on remuneration are linked to the corporate financial results. The obligations of this committee include examining and proposing guidelines for directors' compensation and other related systems.
Board of Corporate Auditors
The members of the Board of Corporate Auditors periodically attend important meetings such as those of the Board of Directors and Executive Committee in order to supervise the execution of duties by the directors, and to perform monitoring and auditing of corporate management and directors. Three independent outside corporate auditors are also invited to these meetings.
