Selected as a “Company with Remarkable Improvement in Disclosure” in the “Awards for Excellence in Corporate Disclosure”

We are pleased to announce that our company has been selected as one of the “Companies with Remarkable Improvement in Disclosure” in the 2025 (31st) “Awards for Excellence in Corporate Disclosure,” conducted by the Securities Analysts Association of Japan (SAAJ).

This award program has been organized by the SAAJ’s Disclosure Study Group since fiscal year 1995, with the aim of promoting and enhancing corporate information disclosure. In fiscal year 2025, 284 companies across 17 industries—primarily those with the highest market capitalization listed on the Tokyo Stock Exchange Prime Market—were evaluated based on their disclosure activities from July 2024 to June 2025. The evaluation was conducted across five areas: (a) Management’s attitude toward IR, the functionality of the IR department, and the basic stance on IR; (b) Disclosure through briefings, interviews, presentation materials, etc.; (c) Fair disclosure practices; (d) Disclosure of ESG-related information; (e) Voluntary disclosure tailored to the characteristics of each industry.

Our company received high marks not only for the proactive involvement of management in IR activities, but also for the qualitative and quantitative disclosure of factors affecting business performance and progress toward numerical targets in the medium-term management plan. Additional recognition was given for detailed disclosure of sub-segment data and the organization of IR events such as plant tours and small meetings with outside directors. As a result, our scores improved significantly across all five evaluation areas, leading to our selection as one of the six companies recognized for remarkable improvement in disclosure.

 

We will continue to engage in timely and appropriate information disclosure and constructive dialogue with our stakeholders, including shareholders and investors, to build trust and achieve sustainable growth and enhanced corporate value.
