At HOYA, swift execution of operations is conducted by entrusting the authority of the Board of Directors to executive officers within the framework of “a company with Nomination Committee, etc.” Since March 1, 2022, a new structure has been established following the change of CEO. Currently, four persons—namely, the Chief Executive Officer (CEO), Chief Financial Officer (CFO), Chief Business Development Officer (CBDO) and Chief Legal Officer (CLO), and Chief Sustainability (ESG) Officer (CSO)—have been nominated by the Nomination Committee as candidates for executive officers and elected at the Board of Directors’ meetings. Each of them oversees the execution of operations in their respective jurisdictions determined by the Board of Directors, and carries out decision-making in a speedy fashion. The executive officers instruct the head office divisions and the respective persons responsible for the business divisions to formulate and implement specific measures based on the management policy determined by the Board of Directors. With respect to all business divisions, Budgetary Business Division Meetings are held every quarter in each business division, with the attendance of all executive officers, where the status of progress relative to the annual plan is checked and deliberations are held on plans for the coming quarter. Authority over day-to-day business operations in each business is largely delegated to the respective persons responsible for the business divisions, who execute the plan approved at the Budgetary Meeting. All four executive officers attend each meeting of the Board of Directors.
