TOKYO, May 18 (Pulse News Wire) – Choushimaru CO.,LTD. (3075.T) reported positive findings from its evaluation of board effectiveness for the fiscal year ending February 2026.
The assessment was conducted through a questionnaire survey involving nine directors, four of whom are audit committee members. Overall, the board's structure, operations, agenda items, supporting systems, and stakeholder engagement received favorable evaluations. Regarding board composition, the diversity and balance of skills among directors were praised, particularly noting that the ratio of female directors exceeded 30%. However, suggestions included further clarifying individual strengths and roles and enhancing internal expertise in finance and law. Additionally, there were recommendations to increase external expert involvement to boost board diversity.
In terms of board operations, flexibility in remote participation and improvements in technical issues led to high marks. Yet, there were calls for earlier distribution of materials and more pre-meeting briefings to enhance discussion quality. Concerning the board’s agenda, long-term strategies and sustainability initiatives were well-received but needed greater specificity and progress tracking. Sustainability efforts across three committees—environment, food culture, and human resources—were highly commended, though more alignment with strategic goals was suggested. Looking ahead, Choushimaru plans to address identified areas for improvement to further strengthen board effectiveness and corporate governance.
