Corporate governance

Company’s Corporate Governance Report

We make decisions on shares to hold as cross-shareholdings for the medium- to long-term by comprehensively judging from various perspectives, considering companies with which we should newly forge relationships and companies with which we should continue to strengthen relationships as our clients for business strategies. With regard to holding shares, each year we will check the associated cost and returns, and if it is determined that holding the shares has no strategic value in the medium-and long-term, we will sell the shares, and conduct operations based on that decision. The Board of Directors’ decision and a disclosure of the shares we decide to continue holding will appear in the “Shareholding status” column of the securities report.
