1. Governance - General
- Principles and policies of governance
DB Insurance Co., Ltd. ("Company"), to secure its sustainable growth and protect the interests of its stakeholders including customers and shareholders, has established sound, transparent governance.
Thus, the Company, for checks and balances in its management, has authorized the board of directors ("Board") and the management with 'decision-making' and 'execution' respectively, and had the management report the status of its 'execution' to the Board.
In order to ensure that the BOD can actually exercise the function of checking senior management, the BOD is given the authority to appoint and dismiss executive officers (including supervisors) such as the CEO. Also, outside directors are given authority to request information while the Company is obligated to provide information to them, thus supporting the BOD's function of checking senior management.
To prevent the Board's aforesaid function of checking management from being weakened due to collusion with management, a majority of the Board members are independence-verified outside directors.

Outside directors | Inside directors | |||||||
No. of directors | 4 | 3 | 1 |
- Young Man Kim, Inside director, resigned in the middle as of Aug. 31, 2020
The company limits inside director's terms of service to 3 years, and the company will appoint new inside director on the next Board meeting based on the related Articles to replace Young Man Kim who resigned in the middle.
The Company limits outside directors' terms of service to 6 years, and to 9 years when including the same in its affiliates, thus preventing outside directors from serving for too long a period. Also, to check outside directors' self- entrenchment and secure objectivity and independence in candidate recommendation, the Company has formed an outside director candidate pool and fills a majority of the Executive Candidate Nomination Committee with outside directors. And in re-elections of an outside director who is also a member of the Executive Candidate Nomination Committee, the Executive Candidate Nomination Committee Regulation restricts such member's voting right in his/her own nomination or self-nomination.
Also, for its members' expertise and diverse perspectives, the Board, a key decision-making body of the Company, is composed of members with diverse expertise (as of the end of 2019, 2 members with background in insurance management, 2 members in finance and economy, and 1 member in insurance business administration), so that a specific background and occupational category will not prevail. Periodic and non-periodic meetings are held from time to time among the members for maximum convergence of their expertise and for supplementation of their weaknesses, in an effort for efficient solution of various tasks and challenges faced by the Company.
Lastly, for disclosure of governance principles and policies and their operational results, the Company makes available key items including its Articles of Incorporation, Internal Code of Governance, the Charter of Corporate Governance, and the Code of Ethics in its website, the Integrated Sustainable Management Report, etc., and makes available its Articles of Incorporation, activities of the Board and its subcommittees, etc. in the Financial Supervisory Service's ("Financial Supervisory Service") electronic disclosure system.
Details can be checked in the sites below.

The Company will maintain sound, transparent governance principles capable of responding to changes in its business environment and the market.

(2) Characteristics of governance
As the Company's highest decision-making body, the Board, in order to strengthen its function of checking management, has the authority to appoint and dismiss the CEO, Chairman of the Board, and executives, and tries to enhance its function of checks and balances (e.g., electing a senior outside director under the Board of Directors Regulation in cases where an inside director is elected as Chairman of the Board).
The Company satisfies the statutory levels regarding the number and percentage of outside directors ('3' and '75%') in its Board, has directors with diverse expertise and backgrounds in the Board thus leading to enhanced soundness and transparency of the Board's decision-making, and by conducting periodic evaluation of the Board and operating CEO and outside director candidate pools, enhances soundness and transparency of the Board.
