Communication with Stakeholders

Website

Toyota Tsusho's website provides substantial information, including basic corporate information and information on business activities, finances and employment opportunities.

In addition to disclosing information about the Company, we work to make the website a point of bilateral communication, providing points of contact for stakeholders to request materials or submit inquiries.

Live and on-demand viewing of the meetings

Toyota Tsusho promotes disclosure and dialog by holding results briefings as well as individual meetings with institutional shareholders, including those located overseas.

We join other companies in participating in institutional research seminars for individual investors and hold company briefings at branches of securities companies. These gatherings provide an opportunity for us to explain our management vision and long-term management plans, as well as to elicit valued input from participants.

In addition to incorporating this feedback into our management, we plan to continue taking advantage of opportunities to explain the Company's operations.

General Meeting of Shareholders

To allow as many shareholders as possible to attend our General Meeting of Shareholders, we avoid holding this meeting on days when there is a large concentration of other shareholder meetings. For shareholders and other stakeholders who are unable to attend the meeting, we provide live and on-demand viewing of the meetings through our website.

In fiscal 2010, we sent out our shareholder meeting convocation notice one week earlier than in the past—three weeks prior to the meeting—to give shareholders more time to exercise their voting rights. We also participate in new platforms for the exercise of voting rights.
