To attract more shareholders and prospective investors, the IR Section of the Corporate Communications Department plays a central role in enhancing understanding of the Group's business activities and growth strategy through direct and indirect communications with both institutional and individual investors.
To deepen the understanding of a wide range of investors about the Companyʼs business and management strategies, we actively participate in online briefi ngs and IR fairs via the Internet.
