Dialogue with shareholders and investors

We proactively engage with our shareholders and investors to gain their confidence in and fair evaluation of our management, with the aim of facilitating the IDEC Group’s sustainable growth and improving its corporate value over the medium to long-term. This includes diligently responding to requests for interviews from shareholders and individual and institutional investors. Information acquired from those interactions, including appraisals and opinions concerning markets, is regularly reported to the Board of Directors.
In FY2023, we received the opinions of shareholders and investors on matters such as the activities of outside directors, the efforts of the Nominating Committee and Remuneration Committee, training of next-generation executive candidates, and our environmental initiatives.
These opinions were shared as feedback with the Board of Directors, and we are taking concrete action to address them, while working to further expand disclosure. We are also continuing to enhance investor relations tools such as our Shareholder Newsletter and website to better help shareholders and individual investors make informed investment decisions. At the same time, we proactively disclose our financial results, management strategy, and sustainability actions, and publish news and features on various topics.
