Engagement with shareholders and investors
In our communication with shareholders and investors, the Company subscribes to a spirit of fair disclosure. In addition to disclosing information fairly and at the appropriate time, management and the department in charge of investor relations cooperate in proactive initiatives to promote sustained growth and increase corporate value over the medium and long term.
In addition, we have created a system to encourage closer cooperation among departments, facilitating dialog regarding issues including management strategy, shares, investor relations, finance, and ESG. We also have appointed an officer to oversee this system.
In addition to communication centered on financial information, when meeting with investors, we also engage in dialogue about long-term value creation based on value creation narratives and non-financial information.
Valuable opinions and requests received from investors, including "constructive criticism from an unbiased perspective," are promptly shared with management and those in the field, leading to increased corporate value.
