Today’s business environment is changing at a tremendous pace.
Technological innovation continues to evolve, and market competition
grows more and more fierce. In this environment, decision-making by
top management has become increasingly important, and society has
reached the point where such decision-making can have a life-or-
death outcome for a company. Hoya has sought to strengthen its
corporate governance systems, through the earliest possible adoption
of a company-with-committees system, and it simultaneously took
active steps to appoint outside directors. At the same time, it
established a clear separation between management and execution,
and by delegating a large amount of authority to those responsible for
execution, the Company has accelerated decision-making processes
and promoted more efficient business management.
Hoya is committed to continuing to benefit society by making the
best possible use of its technological strengths and resources, applying
them to bring products to the market when they are most needed.
By excelling in basic corporate activities like these, the Company has
become what it is today—moving steadily from one achievement to
the next under a highly responsive management system.
Management
strategies and funding activities are carried out. Further,
proportionate to the Company’s increasing ratios of overseas
production and sales, the number of overseas-based employees
and foreign shareholders is also growing, showing that Hoya’s
business has embraced globalization.
