Communication with Shareholders and Investors

Basic Concept

Promoting information disclosure actively based on the Charter of Corporate Behavior.

Konica Minolta believes that maximizing its corporate value is part of meeting the expectations of its shareholders and investors.
In order to maintain close relations with these stakeholders, Konica Minolta is working to ensure that they have a good understanding of all the Group's activities. This is achieved through proactive investor relations (IR) efforts in accordance with the concept of fair and timely disclosure of corporate information, as stated in the Konica Minolta Group Charter of Corporate Behavior.

Active Deployment of Investor Relations Activities

Actively engaging in IR activities for institutional and individual investors

Every quarter, Konica Minolta holds financial results briefings for securities analysts and institutional investors. The Company has also designated IR Days and holds business briefings to help investors gain a better understanding of Konica Minolta’s business strategies and strengths. Individual interviews and meetings are also held after these briefings, as necessary, to provide follow-up information. The Company visits institutional investors, although these have been primarily held online during the COVD-19 pandemic. Konica Minolta also actively participates in investor conferences held by brokerages, both in Japan and overseas, in an ongoing effort to communicate directly with investors.
In recent years, ESG investment, which considers corporate approaches to the environment, society, and governance in addition to financial performance, has been rapidly growing. Konica Minolta proactively disseminates information in response to the interests of such investors.
