Basic approach
We actively facilitate dialogue with shareholders and investors, aiming for sustainable growth and the improvement of corporate value. We manage IR and SR activities with appointing a person in charge in the General Affairs Division to work in collaboration with related departments including the Accounting and Finance Center and the Corporate Planning Center. Regarding opinions and concerns captured in dialogue with shareholders and investors, we report to the Board of Directors and management executives as necessary to share the recognized issues.
Communication with shareholders and investors
We strive to increase the number of shareholders attending our annual general meetings of shareholders, which we regard as a precious opportunity for constructive dialogue with shareholders. For domestic institutional investors and analysts, we hold semiannual financial results briefings as part of IR activities, where the President and the Director responsible for accounting and finance present our management policy, growth strategy, and business performance. One-on-one meetings are also held every quarter after financial results are reported. As part of our SR activities, we hold semiannual one-on-one meetings with institutional shareholders to exchange views on ESG and other matters using the FUTABA Integrated Report. The views expressed there are shared with the Board of Directors. We will continue to ensure active communication with shareholders and investors, especially by providing timely, appropriate, and effective disclosures.
