Tokyo Stock Exchange (TSE) Principles of Corporate Governance for Listed Companies (Rev. Edition 2009)

The Principles of Corporate Governance for Listed Companies were formulated at the TSE in March of 2004 based on suggestions made by the Listed Company Corporate Governance Committee. Enhancing corporate governance should be accomplished though the voluntary efforts of listed companies combining with the appraisal of such by the shareholders and investors participating in the market, and the purpose of these Principles is to offer the foundation of common understanding necessary for doing so.
