Corporate Governance (1)
We consider that corporate governance is a “system for supporting”
the sustainable co-growth of enterprises and society.
≪Description of Corporate Governance≫
Governance≫
We consider that corporate governance is a “system for supporting” the sustainable cogrowth of enterprises and society. It is important to develop an environment for securing the
transparency and fairness of management facilitating active decision making, and disclosing
information properly. We recognize that shareholders, society and the environment entrust
us with valuable managerial resources, and aim to realize the sustainable growth of society
and the environment and create corporate value in the mid to long terms, in cooperation
with stakeholders, and will fulfill our accountability.
≪Development of Corporate Governance System≫
System≫
In June 2004, in order to enhance oversight function of the Board of Directors and the
quality of management and enrich management practices such as prompt decision-making
and agile execution of operation, the Company was reorganized into a company with
committees (currently company with three committees), which is more transparent and fair
and in which Outside Directors account for the majority of board members. In June 2008, a
female director was appointed for the first time, and in June 2016, female directors make up
33% of the board (2 out of 10 Executive Officers are also women). In addition, we appoint
Independent Outside Directors with a wide array of knowledge, experience and skills such as
marketing and accounting, etc. (The Company was selected as “Diversity Management
Selection 100 (2013)” (METI Minister Award).) In 2015, a board evaluation was also
conducted to improve the effectiveness of the Board.

The Compensation Committee sets and determines the remuneration policy. The
remuneration system was revised on April 30, 2015 at the Compensation Committee, so that
executive will be able to align interests with shareholders as they seek sustainable mid- to
long-term growth of corporate value. Moving towards the goal of mutual interests with
shareholders, points are given to Executive Officers according to business results of each
term, and a share remuneration system is adopted where shares are provided upon their
retirement as part of a mid- to long-term incentive.

Risk Management and Compliance
≪Production of a Business Continuity Plan (BCP)≫
(BCP)≫
Internal Control
For internal control, we promote system development in order to secure the
adequacy of organizational business operation. In order to accomplish
organizational goals effectively, efficiently, and properly, opinions inside and
outside the company are constantly grasped and improvements are continuously
made, while organizing rules and business processes.
Risk Management
≪Risks S. T. Bears≫
Bears≫
It is one of key focuses of the board and senior management to recognize risks,
grasp the current status of each risk, and manage them properly and such
management of risk is indispensable in order to conduct businesses successfully
in a long period of time. The major risks S. T. faces are the effects of material
prices, the influences of natural disasters and international situations on
production, the uncertainty of sales due to weathers, and new businesses.
≪Risk Management System≫
System≫
For risk management, S. T. CORPORATION promotes the development of
systems for preventing various management risks and minimizing possible
damages. We established rules for risk management and organized the risk
management committee which covers the entire group including all subsidiaries,
in order to put in place the risk management system and set rules for how to
react to events. The risk management committee reports risk management
activities to the representative executive officer, the executive officer meeting,
and the audit committee, and the audit group checks to ensure these systems
work effectively.
S. T. CORPORATION has produced action plans for responding to disaster,
etc., and business continuity plans, including emergency drills, from the
viewpoint of social responsibilities.
Compliance
≪Policy for Compliance≫
Compliance≫
As for compliance, S. T. CORPORATION observes not only laws, but also
internal and external regulations, ethics, and social norms; fulfills social
corporate responsibilities by putting its management philosophy and codes of
conduct into practice; and strives to maintain and improve the trust of
stakeholders.
≪Compliance System≫
System≫
S. T. CORPORATION established the compliance committee, to report its
resolutions to the representative executive officer, the board of executive
officers, and related groups, and its activities to the audit committee.
≪InIn-Company Educational Activities≫
Activities≫
We conduct the following activities for enhancing employees’ awareness of
compliance further:
・To enact a code of conduct and a whistle-blowing center.
・To upload the collection of compliance-related cases to the Intranet.
・To distribute an email magazine and news for education to every office
of the company. (send once a month for each)
・To conduct company-wide questionnaire survey. (once a year)
・To conduct company-wide compliance test for self-checking. (twice a year)

The Four Effects of a
Functional Tree Extract
・Reduce air pollution
・Promote an antioxidant function
・Eliminate odors
・Promote a forest bathing effect
The S.T. CORPORATION Group’s Japan Aroma Laboratory Co., Ltd. has
been working in cooperation with the Forestry and Forest Products
Research Institute to research and develop functional tree extracts. This
Hiba oil
initiative also marked the start of our technology brand called the Clear
Forest.
Japanese cypress oil
This functional tree extract helps to purify the air of car exhaust and other
Cedar oil
emissions while reducing environmental air-borne pollutants such as
nitrogen dioxide (NO2), which are recognized as a major cause of poor
Eucalyptus oil
health including asthma. Moreover, the functional tree extract boasts other
Sakhalin fir leaf oil
positive attributes including an antioxidant function and a forest bathing
effect while facilitating the elimination of odors.
Japanese cypress leaf oil
In the Clear Forest business, we aim to create a new market, cooperate
Cedar leaf oil
with existing business sections, and so on, based on the new value of
purifying such contaminated air.

Utilization of unique air-care technologies [Solving Social Issues]
S.T. is developing products that could make the living of customers more
comfortable with air, and proceeding with the air purifying business based
on new technologies. Since “SDGs”, there are growing social requirements
and expectations for “solving social issues”, and the S.T. Group considers
that tackling these issues would lead to the creation of corporate value.
Provision of safe, reliable products to consumers [Consumer Issues]
We consider that the manufacturers of daily necessities have a social
mission to make the living of consumers more comfortable and an
important obligation to offer safe, reliable products and services. If an
enterprise loses the satisfaction and trust of consumers, it will become
unable to survive. We recognize it, and take various measures.
Securing and training of personnel [Labor Practices]
Amid the significant turning point, including demographic changes and
globalization, if we cannot secure competent personnel who can respond to
such changes, we will not be able to create corporate value sustainably.
The S.T. Group recognizes this, and is improving employment and labor
environments.
Efforts based on environmentally conscious products, manufacturing and
distribution processes [Environment]
S.T. Group (in Japan) actively engages in the countermeasures for climate
change, which is required globally, and tackles various environmental issues
that would be influenced by business activities.
