We raised the profitability of our business by implementing policies in line with our last medium-term business plan's principles of "Strengthen Commodities and Specialties Management", "Maintain/Strengthen the Financial Base" and "Promote Safety Reforms". 

However, we believe that becoming a trusted company by our stakeholders helps us raise our corporate value aside from just being a profitable company. Our corporate philosophy of "Contributing to Society Through the Chemistry of Innovation" speaks to our group placing corporate social responsibility at the center of our business. Improving our technology to meet society's needs and offering society products and services with unprecedented value is, to us, the greatest social responsibility.

For more details, please see our new medium-term business plan here.

Our previous medium-term business plan for 2017 - 2019 can be downloaded here. 

Tosoh has a board of corporate auditors and a Board of Directors consisting of seven directors, two of which are independent external directors. In the past, we were advised by independent external directors regarding director appointment and compensation. As of our last general meeting of shareholders held at the end of June 2019, a Nomination and Compensation Advisory Committee was established so as to ensure further transparency and fairness. The committee consists of at least three members, including the president and the other independent external directors. The committee deliberates on the nomination of director candidates, the selection / dismissal of representative directors, compensation for directors and executive officers. The committee reports the results to the Board of Directors.
