Policy on Constructive Dialogue with Shareholders
[Principle 5-1] (Policy for Constructive Dialogue with Shareholders)
Basic Views
The Company strives to promote constructive dialogue with its shareholders in order to contribute to the sustainable growth of the Company and to enhance its corporate value over the medium to long term.
Measures and initiatives
The Company is increasing opportunities for the President and Representative Director to have direct dialogues with major shareholders and investors in Japan and overseas, and is actively exchanging opinions with them. The opinions of shareholders and investors obtained through dialogue will be reflected in the management of the Company.
1) General Manager for Constructive Dialogue
The President and Representative Director oversees the company, and the Corporate Planning Department is in charge of operations.
2) Measures for organic collaboration among internal departments to assist dialogue
The Corporate Planning Department serves as the point of contact for initial contact with shareholders. During dialogue with shareholders, the Company has established the system in which relevant departments provide support as necessary.
3) Efforts to enhance means of dialogue other than individual interviews
The Company holds semi-annual financial results briefings to explain management strategies and business performance to analysts and financial institutions, and discloses materials on these briefings. In addition, the Company is working to enhance dialogue outside of individual meetings by participating in conferences sponsored by securities firms and holding small meetings as necessary. Furthermore, we regularly hold conferences and meetings for overseas investors, which we refrained from during the Corona disaster.
4) Feedback measures to senior management and the Board of Directors on the content of the dialogue
The President and Representative Director directly communicates with shareholders and investors to the extent reasonable, and incorporates their opinions into the company's operations. When necessary, he feeds back a summary of the dialogue to senior management and the Board of Directors for discussion.
5) Measures to manage insider information on dialogue
The Company has established rules for the management of insider information, etc., and when engaging in dialogue, we take care to prevent the leakage of information prior to disclosure, and appropriately disclose necessary information to shareholders through the Company's website and other means.
Activities and Achievements
Twice a year, coinciding with the announcement of full-year and half-year financial results, the President and Representative Director acts as the presenter in financial results briefings, where we explain our management strategies and performance to analysts and financial institutions. These materials are disclosed promptly. Additionally, to deepen the understanding of our management philosophy, vision, and business activities, we publish business reports and information on our sustainability initiatives for our shareholders on our corporate website.
