Stakeholder Engagement
The Yokohama Financial Group communicates appropriately with all stakeholders - customers, local communities, employees, shareholders, and investors - in order to strengthen information disclosure. We also listen sincerely to the opinions and requests we receive and use them to improve our management and the Group works with our stakeholders to collaboratively create social and economic value in the region.
The Group strives to robustly disclose management information on its operations so that customers, shareholders, local communities and other stakeholders are able to make appropriate decisions when choosing to engage in transactions with the Group and to invest in its shares. We plan to further enhance the transparency of our operations as a financial group conducting business in a manner inspiring trust from our stakeholders. We disclose information in accordance with the appropriate procedures outlined in our disclosure policy.
Communication with shareholders and investors
We strive to disclose information in a manner that is easy to understand so that shareholders and investors can understand the Group's operations and financial conditions and make appropriate judgments about the soundness of its management. In addition, the Company places importance on opportunities for dialog with shareholders and institutional investors. We have established a policy for initiatives to promote constructive dialog and strive for proactive communication. In April 2022, we established a Corporate Communication Office in the Corporate Planning Department in order to strengthen disclosure of information, including non-financial information, and for dialog with shareholders and investors. In FY2024, we strengthened our approach to overseas investors by increasing participation in IR conferences sponsored by securities companies and steadily implemented measures for individual investors. In addition, the number of meetings with shareholders, institutional investors and analysts and the number of participants at briefing sessions significantly exceeded those of the previousfiscal year.
