Corporate Governance Structures

Current System

Toray is a company with Board of Corporate Auditors, and the members of the Board and corporate auditors are elected at the general meeting of shareholders. A summary of the system is illustrated in the figure <Corporate Governance Structures>.
Members of the Board and corporate auditors, as officers directly elected at the general meeting of shareholders, clearly recognize fiduciary responsibility to shareholders who have entrusted the management and appropriately fulfill their respective roles while discharging accountability about management status to shareholders and other stakeholders.
As Toray Group supplies a wide range of industries with basic materials and globally plays an active part in a broad scope of business fields, it is necessary to evaluate various risks multilaterally based on expertise relevant to the worksites, not only for management judgment and decision-making but also for oversight. To that end, the Board of Directors formulates a structure in which members of the Board familiar with the Toray Group businesses oversee management and make decisions from various viewpoints. Furthermore, the Board of Corporate Auditors audits the execution of operations by the members of the Board based on professional knowledge in fields such as finance, accounting and law in addition to an understanding about businesses, from a standpoint entirely independent of the Board of Directors as a system to secure transparency and fairness of oversight and decision-making.
