Relationships with Shareholders and Investors

Mizuho is committed to an open form of management that emphasizes proactive communication with shareholders and investors.
This section reports on our efforts to meet the expectations and earn the trust of these important stakeholders.

• In order to earn the trust of all our shareholders, we will endeavor to preserve and enhance the group's assets.
• We will strengthen our internal control systems through appropriate accounting, effective internal audit and other measures.
• We will proactively disclose information and improve managerial transparency to ensure that all our shareholders obtain an accurate picture of our business operations.

To meet the expectations and earn the trust of shareholders, we are working to improve the way we manage our general meetings of shareholders.

We will continue to further reinforce our IR activities in order that our shareholders and investors may form more proper judgments and appraisals of the group's situation.
