CASE － Automobile
Client: Automobile manufacturer
Support for production of integrated report
Company A, which is listed on the prime market, has set up a task force to issue an integrated report as part of its efforts to strengthen their IR. However, it was difficult for Company A to independently understand the information disclosure that investors required from the IR. We research and organize the strategic, financial, and non-financial interests of investors in Company A, and how Company A’s IR information is incorporated into stock investments, and then make the most appropriate decisions. We started by visualizing the level of information disclosure. On top of that, we did not just follow the framework presented by IIRC, but also verify whether each content is attractive to investors, such as the medium- to long-term growth story, the quality of messages from top management and outside directors. I wrote it carefully. After that, with the cooperation of writers, designers, and others, we were able to publish an integrated report that was enriched in both quantity and quality. As a result, Company A’s integrated report achieved the brilliant achievement of winning the Nikkei Integrated Report Award and is also used as a tool for active communication with investors.
