Index Group (hereinafter referred to as “the Company”) is an organization firmly dedicated to fostering sustainable growth, enhancing medium to long-term corporate value, and addressing diverse social issues through robust corporate governance practices. We firmly believe in transparent, fair, prompt, and decisive decision-making, always keeping in mind the expectations and trust of our stakeholders.

Basic Concepts of Corporate Governance

At the heart of our corporate governance endeavors lies our unwavering corporate philosophy, epitomized by three core principles: “Always with the SHIKKAI spirit, making SHIKKAI effort,” “Assuring mutual and social benefit,” and “Making the future bright for the next generation.” These philosophies serve as guiding beacons shared by all our executives and employees. We value understanding and respecting each other’s unique qualities and strengths, collectively propelling projects toward a common vision and thereby enriching the corporate value of our Group through sustainable and sound growth—the very essence of our growth strategy.

Note: The term “SHIKKAI” embodies the meaning of “Everything. All.” In the Edo period (1603-1868), there existed a profession known as “SHIKKAI-YA,” which undertook all facets of kimono production. Inspired by the spirit of SHIKKAI-YA, we, as project managers, strive to respond comprehensively to every request.

Our pursuit of corporate governance excellence involves achieving not only qualitative advancements in organizational culture through the integration of our corporate philosophy and governance principles but also quantitative growth in terms of performance and figures. We are dedicated to establishing corporate governance practices rooted in our corporate philosophy, driven by agile decision-making principles, enhancing management efficiency while preserving transparency, fortifying accountability, and upholding impeccable corporate ethics.

In adherence to the foundational concepts mentioned above, we are pleased to present our “Basic Policy on Corporate Governance” on our website. This comprehensive document takes into account the principles outlined in the Corporate Governance Code, reflecting our steadfast commitment to adhering to best practices in corporate governance.
