We strive to disclose material corporate information that may affect investors’ investment decisions in a timely, accurate, and fair manner, in accordance with the Timely Disclosure Rules stipulated by the Tokyo Stock Exchange, as well as related laws and regulations. In this regard, to promote an accurate understanding and evaluation of the Company by all stakeholders, including shareholders and investors, we have established Rules for Disclosure Control, as well as Rules for Insider Trading Management and Information Disclosure Management. In addition, while operating in a manner that clarifies where responsibility lies, the Company’s officer in charge of disclosure centrally manages material information regarding internal controls and financial information, to ensure the comprehensiveness of information, as well as the timeliness and the appropriateness of disclosure.
Specifically, in the case of determined facts, material corporate information pertaining to resolutions of the Board of Directors and subsidiaries’ material information is consolidated by the Business Planning and Management Department, which makes a judgment as to whether the relevant information is subject to timely disclosure. In such cases, the Legal & Compliance Department, as the department in charge of management, strictly manages the information until disclosure. The Business Planning and Management Department serves as the secretariat for the Board of Directors and as the department in charge of affiliate company management and works with Group departments to gather information. If such information is determined to be material, the Corporate Communications & Investor Relations Department promptly handles the procedures for disclosure following approval from the Board of Directors.
In the case of emerging facts, procedures for disclosure are initiated swiftly.
