Samsung SDI
Samsung SDI is communicating proactively with shareholders and investors to promote greater common understanding and trust while conducting diverse IR activities to realize mutual benefits. Earnings calls, IR roadshows, conferences, one-on-one meetings and production line tours are arranged to disclose business outcome and share important corporate information with shareholders. We also collect their feedback through diverse channels and incorporate their opinions in our overall management. Financial information is disclosed in real time on our corporate website’s financial information page and through the VOC system and IR phone calls.
In 2009, Samsung SDI declared its vision to evolve into a leading ecofriendly, clean energy company and carried out relevant corporate overhaul. In an effort to help our shareholders and investors fully appreciate these changes, we held one-on-one meetings and regular conferences for domestic and overseas investors and organized onsite IR events such as technology seminars on energy business and tours of battery production lines. Collected shareholder/investor opinions and market responses are reflected in our operations through management briefings and internal sharing. Moving forward in 2010, our plan is to strengthen overseas IR activities for foreign investment firms and shareholders. In addition, we will implement a proactive IR strategy to satisfy the needs of our investors and shareholders by holding technology seminars designed to raise understanding about batteries for electric vehicles and high-capacity batteries.
