【Our Policy on the Election of the Board of the Directors】
Our goal is to realize a society in which every “sei-katsu-sha” can actively live their lives in their way. For this goal, through the “creativity” of every employee and the “integrated strength” of our teams, who respect and enhance each other’s creativity, we bring positive change to the world and create “new value” for sei-katsu-sha. As such, the Hakuhodo DY Group has an unparalleled diversity of creative talent. The Board of Directors is likewise composed of several directors who are familiar with the Group and several outside directors who have a wealth of experience and a wide range of insight while considering the balance of knowledge, experience, and ability of the Board as a whole. This composition ensures the effectiveness of the Board of Directors in enhancing the Group’s corporate value.

*1 This concept is the starting point of the Hakuhodo DY Group's philosophy. We create new values through deep insight and understanding people not simply as consumers but as“sei-katsu-sha” who live independently in our diverse society. We know sei-katsu-sha better than anyone else, so we can build bridges between advertisers, sei-katsu-sha, and media companies.
*2 This approach is the starting point of the Hakuhodo DY Group's business. We always look at things from the viewpoint of sei-katsu-sha and provide advertisers and media companies with solutions by looking at their businesses together, discussing them, and taking action accordingly. As their partner, we aim to build long-term relationships with advertisers and media companies and provide consistent and sustainable solutions.
*3 A policy in which our employees are regarded as an extremely valuable stakeholder. The minds of our employees are what allows us to produce ideas. For this reason, we place importance on employee satisfaction and are making particular efforts to respect individuality, develop personal creativity, and enhance our teamwork capabilities. These efforts ultimately help us improve our level of customer satisfaction.
