Overview of the Board of Directors Effectiveness Evaluation
Kohoku Industrial Co., Ltd. conducted an effectiveness evaluation of its board of directors covering the period from January to December 2025. A questionnaire was distributed targeting six directors who are not Audit & Supervisory Committee members (including three outside directors) and three directors who are Audit & Supervisory Committee members (all three being outside directors). The evaluation analyzed the board’s size and composition, operation, roles and functions, support systems, and cooperation with the Audit & Supervisory Committee. The results confirmed that the board’s size and composition are appropriate relative to the company’s business and scale, meeting frequencies are suitable, and sufficient discussions on management strategies and plans are taking place.
Future Challenges and Response Policies
On the other hand, four improvement issues were identified: timing of board materials provision, allocation of time between reports and discussions, enhancement of director training programs, and strengthening of systems for obtaining advice from external experts. These issues will be addressed as priority areas in future board operations and discussed continuously from a medium- to long-term perspective. The company affirms it will continue conducting board effectiveness evaluations and strive to enhance corporate value.
