Editorial Policy Publication of Daiwa Securities Group Integrated Report 2017 Daiwa Securities Group has formulated and published the corporate principle which consists of four components: “building trust,” “placing importance on personnel,” “contributing to society,” and “maintaining healthy earnings results.” This corporate principle is the bedrock from which we aim to increase corporate value over the longer term, by managing operations with an eye on creating value for our stakeholders, while fulfilling our responsibilities to society as a major player in capital markets. Daiwa Securities Group believes its social mission is to contribute to the development of society and the economy through participation in financial and capital markets, by bringing together the fund management needs of individuals, corporations and institutional investors and the operating fund procurement needs of companies, national and local governments, public institutions, and international institutions. To deepen understanding of the corporate activities of Daiwa Securities Group, we have published an integrated report. As the Company’s 115th anniversary since its foundation, FY2017 is a milestone year for Daiwa Securities Group. In line with this history, the Group has established a unique corporate culture. Under a management structure that was renewed in April 2017, Daiwa Securities Group has put together an integrated report that provides details of its growth measures, including both the corporate culture and DNA that the Company has nurtured over many years as well as the Group’s efforts to establish a robust structure through the expansion of stable revenues. At the same time, the Integrated Report outlines details of the Company’s management policy in FY2017. In order to upgrade and expand the disclosure of non-financial information, a special feature on the Group’s environmental, social, and governance (ESG) initiatives has been included in the report.
