Timely Disclosure of Corporate Information

Enhancing Information Disclosures and Communication

Basic Policy

Information disclosure represents an important responsibility of management from the standpoint of ensuring the transparency and fairness of the company’s decision making.We strive to carry out information disclosure in an appropriate and timely manner in order to help deepen understanding among various stakeholders, including shareholders and other investors, about decision making by SCSK Group’s management and the company’s business activities.

The Group’s basic policy on information disclosures is to disclose information in a proactive manner. In addition to disclosures on operating results and financial information pursuant to laws and regulations, non-financial information (including ESG elements concerning governance along with social and environmental issues) deemed material by SCSK is also communicated using various means, including the corporate website and SCSK Report.

Structure for Timely Disclosure

The SCSK Group recognizes that a high level of management transparency is an important component of corporate governance. Also, as a measure to ensure this transparency, the company has established the following system for the disclosure of corporate information. Through this system, we work to disclose information in a timely, appropriate, and fair manner.

1. 1. The Planning Div., Sustainability Promotion & Corporate Communications Div., General Affairs & Legal Div., Risk Management Div., Talent Strategy Div., Human Resources Div., Accounting Div., and Finance & IR Div. carry out the effective collection of information that is subject to disclosure, screen what is to be disclosed, and prepare drafts for disclosure.
2. 2. Upon receiving authorization from the President, information handling officers—the persons responsible for supervising the management and disclosure of information—confirm the content and determine whether disclosure is required.
3. 3. The information handling officers appropriately disclose corporate information after receiving approval from the Board of Directors when necessary.

Communication with Shareholders and Other Investors

The SCSK Group actively holds constructive communication with shareholders and other investors according to a scope and means acceptable in order to contribute to sustainable growth and the enhancement of medium- to long-term corporate value. We have created a structure for promoting constructive communication with shareholders and other investors, led by the Corporate IR Officer. This officer is mainly responsible for establishing an internal system for disclosing information on our business activities to shareholders and other investors in an appropriate and timely manner. In terms of actual communication, we work to hold direct discussions between this officer and shareholders and other investors whenever possible. In FY2023, we engaged in highly transparent IR activities through communication with a total of approximately 500 analysts and investors in Japan and overseas.

As an initiative to promote dialogue with shareholders and other investors, we hold quarterly financial results conferences. Moreover, for FY2023, we held a briefing on the new MediumTerm Management Plan and a sustainability briefing to deepen understanding about the SCSK Group's operations. In addition, we proactively engage in IR activities, such as holding a briefing for individual investors for the first time.
