PILOT Corporation and the PILOT Group believe that it is our social responsibility as a corporation to contribute to the
development of a sustainable society by seeking to increase our corporate value through business activities.
To achieve sustainable growth and increase our corporate value, we will improve the objectivity and
transparency of management and strive to strengthen and improve our corporate governance system to be
more effective, from the perspectives of our shareholders, customers, employees, and the local community.
Basic approach
The PILOT Group aspires to support writing around the world while supporting people, society and culture in areas other than writing through the practice of our five guiding principles which encompass our founding spirit and serve as our principles of conduct, based on our Purpose, “Our Creations Inspire Creativity.” We are determined to develop, strengthen, and enhance our system for corporate governance so that it is more effective. In this system, we will incorporate feedback from our shareholders, customers, employees and people in local communities around the world into our management while improving its objectivity and transparency, passing down the traditions and skills we have accumulated and responding to the changing times and environment. To further strengthen these initiatives, we have chosen to adopt an organizational structure under which we are a company with an audit and supervisory committee.

Corporate Governance Structure
The PILOT Group has established a system of audits and supervision by the Audit and Supervisory Committee and has developed a governance structure with more objectivity and transparency through a Board of Directors that has management oversight. The Audit and Supervisory Committee is diverse; there are Outside Directors. As well, this committee audits and supervises the Board of Directors. Executive Directors and Executive Officers make quick, responsible decisions and execute their duties under the authority delegated to them by the Board of Directors, with supervision and execution separated from each other. In addition, a Nomination and Remuneration Advisory Committee has been established as a voluntary advisory body to the Board of Directors and reports to the Board of Directors.
