Reasons for the appointment

Mr. Wada has held important positions in the departments responsible for process engineering and product quality management at the Company, and has a deep understanding and extensive knowledge of production sites. He also has experience pursuing "Yoki-Monozukuri*" and quality at a high level. In addition, he has a global perspective gained from extensive experience in operations related to production outside Japan. Having served as the officer in charge of legal affairs and Chairperson of the Compliance Committee, he also has knowledge of legal affairs and risk management. The Company has determined that he will be able to use these experience and knowledge in the auditing of the Group, and and for this reason appoints him as an Audit & Supervisory Board Member.

  • * In Japanese, "yoki" means good or excellent, and "monozukuri" means making or craftsmanship. For us, Yoki-Monozukuri means an excellent creation process that is good for everyone involved and enriches the lives of consumers and customers.
