Strategy

Nikon fulfills our responsibilities to stakeholders and implements highly transparent management, while improving management efficiency and transparency, and further strengthening the supervisory function over management for sustainable growth and enhanced corporate value over the medium to long term. To reach higher levels of supervisory functions, the Company continues to evaluate the effectiveness of the Board of Directors, resolving issues raised in said evaluations.

We also enhance the effectiveness of the Board of Directors by increasing diversity and improving the executive compensation system. Through these efforts, we achieve the goal of strengthening our management base as described in our Medium-Term Management Plan.

We strengthen corporate governance by enhancing our management structure and establishing various committees.
