Basic Approach
Link and Motivation Inc.’s basic approach is to carry out management with a high level of fairness and transparency in order to contribute to the vitality of society by pursuing its mission—creating a more meaningful society by providing opportunities for transformation to organizations and individuals through Motivation Engineering. The Company builds sound relationships with all stakeholders, including shareholders, customers, business partners, the community and employees, and takes a long-term perspective in management initiatives to increase the value of the Link and Motivation Group.
The Board of Directors is positioned as the highest decision-making body for determining basic management policies, important issues and key matters stipulated by laws and regulations. It meets once a month in principle. In addition, to enable swift decision-making and flexible organizational responses in business management, the Management Committee, which is attended by directors, the full-time Audit & Supervisory Board member, corporate officers and business heads, meets twice a month in principle.
Furthermore, to monitor business execution, ensure compliance with laws and internal regulations, and audit the appropriateness and effectiveness of business activities, Audit & Supervisory Board members attend Board of Directors meetings to confirm proceedings, procedures and other matters as needed. Internal auditors conduct internal audits and regularly report the results to the Chairman and Representative Director and the President and Representative Director.
Link and Motivation discloses information pursuant to Japan’s Companies Act and the Financial Instruments and Exchange Law. As a listed company, Link and Motivation also provides information based on the Tokyo Stock Exchange’s regulations on the timely disclosure of company information by issuers of listed securities. Moreover, Link and Motivation considers investor relations programs geared toward stakeholders including shareholders, institutional investors, individual investors and customers to be an important corporate responsibility. Link and Motivation employs generally accepted accounting principles and proactively incorporates the advice of its independent accounting auditor. In addition to systematic disclosure, Link and Motivation also emphasizes voluntary disclosure of information on risk and other issues. Link and Motivation is committed to disclosing information based on the principles of transparency, timeliness and continuity.
Corporate Governance System
In addition to a management system with a Board of Directors responsible for making important business decisions and supervising business execution, Link and Motivation is a company with an audit and supervisory board as defined by the Companies Act. The Audit & Supervisory Board is independent from the Board of Directors and oversees the execution of duties by directors. The Company will enhance and strengthen its corporate governance system in order to advance management initiatives that continually meet a high level of fairness and transparency.
