Sojitz maintains a basic policy of engaging in constructive dialogue with shareholders. Sojitz continues to provide shareholders with appropriate and timely information on management policy and initiatives, as well as clear explanations using understandable words and logic to achieve sustained growth and improve corporate value over the medium-to-long term.
