Trust Recovery Growth Vitalization - Marubeni

Corporate Governance
The Marubeni Group’s pursuit of stronger corporate governance closely reflects the underlying
spirit expressed in its corporate creed, company doctrine, and the Marubeni Corporate Principles.
Through its efforts, the Group strives to ensure management transparency and maximize corporate
value. By earning the trust of its stakeholders, the Marubeni Group is working to build a reliable and
sustainable Group business base.
Structure for Enhancing Corporate
Governance
Past measures taken by Marubeni to enhance corporate
governance have included shortening the terms of directors
from two years to one, replacing the company president as
chair of the Board of Directors with the company chairman,
recruiting outside experts to the Management Remuneration
Committee, and convening meetings of the Advisory Committee.
However, in a move to further strengthen corporate
governance by reinforcing checks and balances and supervision
over its directors, Marubeni appointed two outside
directors in June 2005.

Since April 2004, the Marubeni Group has also been implementing
the Internal Control System Project, primarily to ensure
the reliability of its financial reporting. Steady progress is being
made on the project; outside consultants have been brought on
to share expertise and the documentation of operational
processes, IT systems and other areas is now complete.
These and other initiatives have increased Marubeni’s
transparency in the eyes of its diverse stakeholders and led to
tougher corporate governance. Hence, Marubeni is confident
that it can mold itself into the kind of company demanded in
this new era of business.
