METAWATER Co., Ltd. (President: Yasushi Nakamura, Headquarters: Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo; hereinafter "METAWATER") is pleased to announce the winning of a Best IR Award for Encouragement in the 2019 IR Awards run by the Japan Investor Relations Association (hereinafter "JIRA").
The IR Awards are designed to recognize companies which have been highly accredited by the investment community for their understanding and promotion of IR activities. Of the 315 JIRA member companies who applied for the 2019 IR Awards, which mark their 24th year, one received the IR Grand Prix, seven received a Best IR Award, four received an IR Special Award, and two, including METAWATER, received a Best IR Award for Encouragement.
The main reasons for the selection of METAWATER by JIRA are as follows.
(Excerpt from JIRA's press release)
Metawater is actively committed to IR activities, with the aim of raising awareness on the water infrastructure of society, a subject and area of activity in which the company is intimately engaged, this having acquired greater importance as countermeasures against deterioration of facilities are urgently needed in increasingly disaster-prone Japan. While the company's business model is regarded difficult to understand in general, the top management and IR department tried to explain it in easy language by relating it to measures taken by the national government or local authorities. The company also strives to promote understanding of the water-related industry. In addition to hosting meetings by business segment, the company publishes the Metawater Report (annually), which investors find useful as it incorporates ESG perspectives.
Encouraged by the winning of the award, METAWATER will continue to enhance its corporate value through dialogues with a wide range of stakeholders, including shareholders and investors.
