Main Agenda Items Discussed by the Board of Directors
Outline of Agenda Items Discussed by the Board of Directors, etc.
In FY2020, the Board of Directors placed a particular focus on deliberating the revision of the Medium-term Management Plan. Specifically, the Board of Directors engaged in active discussion on multiple occasions to address such matters as those associated with codifying the Company’s corporate mission, formulating a corporate vision for and basic strategy towards 2030, shifting the business portfolio and implementing other strategies as well as taking on the challenge of achieving carbon neutrality in 2050. In the process, the Board of Directors also utilized such opportunities as Outside Director meetings aimed at sharing information with Outside Directors. The revised Medium-term Management Plan has thus been finalized via a resolution at a Board of Directors meeting held in May 2021 and publicly announced. In addition, the Board of Directors discussed strategic issues identified via the FY2019 assessment of the effectiveness of its operations.
