CSR / CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

FIELDS’ CSR

Basic CSR Policy

The mission of FIELDS is to provide "The Greatest Leisure for All People" as in its corporate philosophy. All officers and employees are conscious that corporate social responsibility (CSR) is corporate activity itself, and with a view to ongoing social and business development, the Company meets is social obligations to a variety of stakeholders based on this fundamental activity policy.

CSR Promotion System

At FIELDS, by striving to fulfill our corporate philosophy, we are united in undertaking our daily business activities to help bring about a richer society.
In terms of our system for promoting CSR, we have built a structure in which the position of the Executive in Charge of CSR is established directly under the Board of Directors, and management decisions made based on FIELDS’ basic policy on CSR are spread to business and staff divisions. In collaboration with our Group Companies, we will continue to promote social contribution through our business activities throughout the FIELDS CORPORATION Group.

ULTRAMAN FOUNDATION

The FIELDS CORPORATION Group established the ULTRAMAN FOUNDATION in March 2011 in cooperation with Tsuburaya Productions Co., Ltd. and other Group companies willing to provide support. The Foundation is engaged in activities supporting people in regions affected by natural disasters, especially children, who are a light of hope for the future.

In 2017, the ULTRAMAN FOUNDATION celebrates seven years of effort, which coincided with the 50th anniversary of the broadcasting of the Ultraman Seven series. Taking advantage of this, the Foundation is organizing the Hero Caravan, which travels around Japan, visiting approximately 600 child welfare facilities together with Ultraman. These activities provide an opportunity to create dreams and hope for the children. We will continue to engage in these support activities and hope that it will open up a new era for the children to grow stronger.

Corporate Governance

Outline

FIELDS’ corporate philosophy and mission is to provide “The Greatest Leisure for All People,” with the sustainable increase in corporate value as the basic principle guiding Company management. We think one of the important management issues in realizing this basic policy is ensuring that corporate governance functions effectively.

Initiatives to Strengthen Corporate Governance

We will enhance our corporate governance system by advancing reforms in our management structures and systems within the framework of the Board of Directors, the Board of Statutory Auditors, the Independent Auditor and the Board of Executive Officers. In addition, based on management policy, the FIELDS CORPORATION Group carefully discusses policies and measures, and promotes business that conforms to mutually agreed management plans. Furthermore, the term of office for Directors was changed from 2 years to 1 year, in order to build a management structure that is able to swiftly respond to changes in the business environment, and to clarify the management responsibilities of Directors in the fiscal year.

Since the Tokyo Stock Exchange began to apply its Corporate Governance Code, on June 1, 2015, FIELDS has been conducting extensive investigation into the establishment of an optimal governance structure targeting enhanced corporate value over the medium to long term and sustainable profit growth while ensuring management transparency and fairness.
