Dialogue with shareholders

Maruka Furusato Corporation shares information on its initiatives for sustainable growth and to improve our corporate value over the medium- to long-term in an appropriate and timely manner. Sharing this information is in itself aimed at our sustainable growth and medium- to long-term improvements to our corporate value, by giving our shareholders and investors an accurate understanding of the Company’s management strategy, financial status, and other details, allowing us to benefit from appropriate evaluations of and constructive dialogue on these matters.

Systems governing our dialogue with shareholders

All of the Company’s dialogue with its shareholders and investors is overseen by our President and Representative Director, who strives to make this dialogue constructive. On the ground, our Corporate Strategy Unit (the division in charge of our investor relations) is the first point of contact for dialogue with our shareholders and investors, which it facilitates in collaboration with our Representative Director and other management. In order to enhance our dialogue with our shareholders and investors and ensure that it is effective, the Corporate Strategy Unit collaborates with related divisions at our Group companies to carry out information disclosures in line with laws, regulations, and other relevant structures.

Internal systems supporting dialogue with shareholders

In addition to the information disclosures required by laws and regulations, Maruka Furusato Corporation holds financial results briefings and individual consultations for our institutional investors. We also make various resources—including quarterly financial highlights reports, a video library of our financial results briefings and other events, and our annual reports—available on the IR information (IR library) section of the Company’s website. Going forward, we are exploring adding briefings for individual investors and will strive toward proactive and voluntary disclosures in our continued efforts to enhance dialogue and promote understanding around the Company’s financial situation.
