Basic Policy on Corporate Governance

We have established a Code of Corporate Conduct to realize our business philosophy of " We Strive to create a safe, comfortable and enriching society using world-class technology and expertise." Our corporate culture—based on integrity and technology—guides us as we fulfill our social mission. In the spirit of Japan's Corporate Governance Code, we have also established a Basic Policy on Corporate Governance in order to achieve transparent, fair, timely and decisive decision-making in corporate governance. In line with this Basic Policy, we will strive to achieve sustainable growth as a company and increase our corporate value over the mid- to long-term. The following is an overview of our Basic Policy on Corporate Governance.

  1. We will develop an environment in which shareholders can exercise their rights, and will give adequate consideration to securing the effective equal treatment of shareholders.
  2. We will strive to sustainably grow the CTI Engineering Group and increase its corporate value over the mid- to long-term through appropriate collaboration with its stakeholders, including shareholders, employees, clients, business partners, and local communities.
  3. We will appropriately disclose financial and non-financial information related to the management of the CTI Engineering Group in compliance with relevant laws and regulations, and will also strive to actively provide information beyond that required by law.
