Alpine defines corporate governance as “the establishment and operation of the mechanism that motivates management to implement appropriate, efficient decision-making and business operations and to promptly report results to stakeholders with a view to increasing corporate values, thus realizing sound, efficient, and transparent operations.” We consider it vital to maximize the benefits of stakeholders, including shareholders, to maximize corporate values, to provide well-balanced benefits among stakeholders, and to directly and indirectly restore profits. Following these principles, we are fulfilling and strengthening corporate governance through audit system, maintaining sound operations, and improving operation efficiency.
