Governance
Corporate Governance System
NEC Corporation has adopted the structure of a “company with a Nominating Committee, etc.” By clearly separating the oversight and execution functions, the Board of Directors strengthens its oversight function, while delegating substantial authority to executive officers to accelerate decision-making and business execution. In line with this, the Company is also strengthening governance on the execution side. Details are available in the Company’s Corporate Governance Report.
