The JVCKENWOOD Group holds the JVCKENWOOD Solutions Fair and other events as opportunities to communicate with customers and business partners. We introduced solutions that solve various issues for customers, utilizing video, audio, and communications that the JVCKENWOOD Group specializes in.
By communicating directly with customers and business partners, we attempt to effectively convey the appeal and merits of our products, services, and technologies. We will continue to consider and implement opportunities to interact with customers and business partners in various styles.

JVCKENWOOD aims to achieve sustainable growth and enhance corporate value over the medium to long term by having the top management actively in constructive dialogue (engagement) with investors and shareholders. Through such dialogue, JVCKENWOOD conveys its initiatives to those stakeholders to gain their understanding, and works to reflect their opinions and needs in the management strategy and business plan.
