Toshiba was pointed out that the response to shareholder proposals at the general meeting of shareholders last year was "contrary to corporate ethics", and in the future, it will be a constructive dialogue with so-called "shareholders who say things" without being bound by prejudice. We have summarized the recurrence prevention measures such as repeating.
It was pointed out that Toshiba was working closely with the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry over the shareholders' meeting held last year to prevent the proposal of "shareholders who say things", and the committee investigating this issue also last month. Although the company's response is not a violation of the law, we have compiled a report that concludes that it is "contrary to corporate ethics."
In response to this, Toshiba announced recurrence prevention measures on the 16th.
In this context, we will endeavor to have people understand our management policy through dialogue, without being bound by prejudice or prejudice against so-called “shareholders who say things” when dealing with shareholders.
In addition, we will revise the constitution that is excessively dependent on the government by compiling action guidelines when contacting government agencies, recording the contents of exchanges when contacting national executives, and making the contents visible to directors. It is said that.
Toshiba commented, "We apologize for the damage to everyone's trust due to acts contrary to corporate ethics. We will continue our efforts to restore trust as soon as possible."
