NYK has been included in the “Companies with Greatest Improvement in IR” and “Companies with Best Continual Efforts in IR” categories compiled by Japan Investor Relations Association (JIRA) for 2018. NYK is the only company in the maritime industry to be recognized by these awards, which were announced on November 14.

Over the past 12 years, companies that have repeatedly been evaluated highly by JIRA committee members and have been recognized for their efforts to improve IR have been included in the “Companies with Greatest Improvement in IR” category. Similarly, companies that have demonstrated continual IR efforts over the long term have been included in the “Companies with Best Continual Efforts in IR” category.

NYK will continually work to improve investor relations activities by making efforts to appropriately disclose information to shareholders, investors, and other stakeholders and encourage mutual communication with them.
