Shareholder Return
Basic approach to shareholder returns
The Group considers that sustainable improvement of corporate value through business investment, and continuous return to shareholders by dividend are both important management issues.
We believe that by proactively investing in our business based on our growth strategy and maximizing corporate value, we can gain market reputation over the medium to long term and it will benefit our shareholders. In addition to this, we will return profits directly with dividends from stable business profits to shareholders.
