Reasons for the appointment
Ms. Murata has abundant knowledge and experience of legal affairs, management, and auditing, having served as General Manager of the Legal Affairs Department at Panasonic Group, as Executive Director and Auditor of Japan Pension Service, and as an outside director at two companies listed on the Prime Market of the Tokyo Stock Exchange. She also has deep insight into promoting the active participation of women. The Company expects her to use the above experience and knowledge to strengthen corporate governance, deliberate important management matters and monitor management at the Board of Directors meetings, and actively provide opinions and proposals for promoting sustainability.
