Strengthening Governance
Dialogue with investors
NICIGAS emphasizes on dialogue with shareholders, investors and analysts, and conducts more than 300 IR meetings annually. In FYE 03/24, against the backdrop of growing interest in Japanese equities from global investors, the company resumed overseas IR, which had been suspended due to the Covid-19 pandemic. In meetings with overseas investors, directors and IR staff speak directly to them in English, without interpreters. We disclose information to overseas investors at the same time as Japanese investors as much as possible, for example by translating materials for investors into English in-house, with some exceptions. Dialogue with shareholders, investors and analysts is incorporated in NICIGAS’ management, and we will continue to improve our corporate value.
Number of IR meetings (FYE 03/24)
We meet with domestic and overseas investors of various investment styles (analysts, fund managers, ESG managers, voting representatives, etc.). Our management team, including the CEO, actively participates in IR meetings to carefully convey our growth story and capital strategy to the capital market. The IR Department continues to improve the disclosure information used in dialogue with investors through discussion with each department.
Sharing insights with management and internally
Valuable feedback from shareholders, investors, and analysts is regularly shared at branch meetings and the Board of Directors, and incorporated into NICIGAS’ governance and strategy planning.
