Teijin engages in dialogue with its shareholders and other investors in various manners and settings with the aim of deepening their understanding of the Company's management policies and business strategies and building trust-based relationships with them. In addition to holding financial results briefings every quarter, we proactively promote such activities as meetings with investors in order to respond to more detailed questions. Furthermore, we offer business briefings on our medium- to long-term management policies and the progress we are making under such policies, briefings related to specific businesses, plant tours, briefings on our environmental, social, and governance (ESG) initiatives, and various other kinds of briefings on other important matters for disclosure.
In terms of our overseas investor relations (IR) activities, the CEO, CFO, and/or Chief Officer (Corporate Strategy) meet individually with institutional investors, primarily in North America, Europe, and Asia, roughly three to five times a year either in person or online. We also actively participate in conferences for overseas institutional investors held by securities companies and other companies. Additionally, between March and May each fiscal year, we hold meetings with our shareholders, and, between December and January, we hold meetings with investors to exchange opinions regarding our integrated report.
Moreover, we offer business briefings for individual investors in which the CEO provides explanations on management policies and business conditions. We also hold exhibitions (at TEIJIN MIRAI STUDIO) for individual investors where we put Company products on display.

For our IR activities in fiscal 2023, in addition to our quarterly financial results briefings, we held a briefing about the aramid business for approximately 100 investors and analysts in November 2023, and endeavored to deepen their understanding of our business conditions and medium- to long-term growth strategies.
Throughout the year, we proactively facilitated dialogues between domestic and overseas shareholders and the CEO, CFO, Chief Officer (Corporate Strategy), Chief Sustainability Officer, and other internal directors. In December 2023, our outside directors also had conversations with shareholders. In addition to proactively engaging in dialogues with domestic and overseas institutional investors and analysts, we also held in-person and online meetings with a number of overseas investors as a part of our overseas IR outreach. In February and March 2024, we participated in two overseas investor conferences sponsored by securities firms. For individual investors, we held a business briefing in September, and in January we held an exhibition of our products.

We view the creation of trust-based relationships with our shareholders and other investors as an important management issue. We therefore are working to proactively disclose information and enhance mutual communication. In addition to institutional investors, who represent our major shareholders, we engage in dialogue with a broad range of active investors, centering on both value and growth investors in Japan and overseas.

The opinions received from shareholders and other investors via these dialogues are reported to the Management Committee, where they are utilized in such matters as deepening discussions on business strategy formulation, including mediumterm management plans. In fiscal 2023, while working on the Reforms for Profitability Improvement, Teijin formulated the new medium-term management plan that was announced in May 2024, and conveyed the opinions of shareholders and investors about the Company's performance and growth strategies to the Board of Directors and Management Committee. While referring to opinions about non-financial information, we are strengthening our global management system.
