Composition (Organization・Directors)

1.Organization Layout

The Company has adopted a "company with three committees structure" from the following points of view.

  1. 1.
    To separate the especially vital decision-making and supervision, such as the formulation of basic management policy, from the business execution based on such decisions, thereby increasing the flexibility in management and establishing the management supervision structure of the Group governed by the Board of Directors.
  2. 2.
    To fully utilize external views on the management of the Company and ensure the transparency and fairness of decision-making on the management through enabling the exercise of functions of the Board of Directors comprised mainly of Independent Directors and the three committees, namely the Nomination Committee, the Compensation Committee and the Audit Committee.
  3. 3.
    To realize a corporate governance structure that can appropriately fulfill its accountability to all stakeholders.

Compensation

1. Compensation System for Directors and Executive Officers

With regard to compensation of the Directors and Executive Officers of Japan Post Holdings Co., Ltd., the Compensation Committee has set a "Policy to Determine Content of Compensation for Individual Directors and Executive Officers," and the amount of compensation is determined in accordance with this policy.

Compensation System

  1. 1.
    When serving concurrently as a Director and Executive Officer, compensation shall be paid as an executive officer.
  2. 2.
    Directors of Japan Post Holdings shall be paid a fixed amount of compensation according to their duty, based on the scope and size of their responsibility for management.
  3. 3.
    Executive Officers of Japan Post Holdings shall be paid basic compensation according to their duty (fixed amount compensation) and performance-based stock compensation, as a mechanism that functions as a sound incentive to promote sustainable growth.

In addition, Directors or Executive Officers of Japan Post Holdings who simultaneously serve as a Director, Auditor, Executive, or Executive Officer of a Japan Post Group company shall be paid compensation by the company where that Director or Executive Officer mainly executes business.

Indicators of Performance-based Compensation, the Reason for Selecting Those Indicators, and the Method for Deciding the Amount of Performance-based Compensation
Regarding the performance-based stock compensation for Executive Officers, points are calculated by multiplying the total number of basic points based on the duties of a specific Executive Officer and his or her individual evaluation points based on execution of his or her responsibilities by a coefficient that changes based on company performance each fiscal year (such as the achievement status of management plans). Individual evaluations are determined by individually evaluating the results and status of initiatives in the business that the individual Executive Officer is responsible for.
Indicators related to company performance are set in several different categories to enable a comprehensive evaluation of the degree of achievement of management. Specific indicators adopted as suitable for the business format and content of Japan Post Holdings are consolidated net income attributable to Japan Post Holdings and consolidated ordinary income ratio as financial indicators, and progress of the medium-term management plan JP Vision 2025 and occurrence of serious administrative incidents and misconduct in the Group and operation of compliance systems as non-financial indicators.
In addition, we have a malus system that provides for the reduction or cancellation of the number of points used to calculate the number of shares to be granted to any Executive Officer eligible for payment in the event they commit serious misconduct or a violation.
We have no policy for determining the payment ratio of performance-based compensation and other forms of compensation.

Indicators related to company performance Goal Performance in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2023
Consolidated net income attributable to Japan Post Holdings At least ¥400,000 million ¥431,066 million
Consolidated ordinary income ratio At least 6.560% 5.903%
Progress and implementation of the medium-term management plan JP Vision 2025 Steady implementation of measures including a "co-creation platform", DX, enhancing governance, and ESG management
Occurrence of serious administrative incidents and misconduct in the Group and operation of compliance systems Enhancement of compliance systems, including the establishment of a system for understanding and making a coordinated response to misconduct incidents in the Group and encouraging the use of the whistleblowing system
