Dividend Policy
We consider capital raised from the market to be entrusted to us by our shareholders. Therefore, we regard profit distribution as one of our most important policies: to return profits to shareholders through performance-linked, earnings-based dividends. Our decisions are guided by the fundamental stance of delivering stable and reliable shareholder returns over the long term.
