Corporate Governance
The Tsumura Group has established its corporate philosophy system and conducts business based on it. The system is composed of: the Principle expressed as the phrase of “In the Spirit of Nature’s Laws”; the ultimate Purpose of “Lively Living for Everyone”; Corporate Value of “The Best of Nature and Science”; and Corporate Mission “To contribute to the unparalleled medical therapeutic power of the combination of Kampo medicine and Western medicine.” To achieve sustainable growth and increase our corporate value over the medium to long term, our basic policy is to strengthen our corporate governance in order to ensure sound, transparent, and fair management and make prompt and sound decisions.
In June 2017, the Company’s governance structure changed from “company with company auditors” to “company with audit and supervisory committee,” as defined in the Companies Act of Japan. The purpose of this change was to reinforce the oversight and monitoring functions of the Board of Directors. Under this system, the Company is working to enhance its management supervisory function and innovate its management structure by separating the supervisory function from the executive function and by appointing outside directors to compose a majority of the Board. These measures have been effectively implemented to continuously establish systems that enable the Company to ensure the transparency, improve the efficiency, and maintain the soundness of its management.
In April 2026, we introduced the internal company system to promote the delegation of authority to executive directors and executive officers serving as Company President and clarify the responsibility structure. This has further enhanced the supervisory function of the Board of Directors.
