Enhancing Investor Relations with Strategic Training

In the rapidly evolving corporate landscape, effective Investor Relations (IR) activities have become essential for enhancing corporate value. Recognizing this need, Reskill Co., Ltd. has launched a comprehensive training program aimed at equipping companies with the necessary skills to design and implement effective IR strategies.

The Importance of Strategic IR Activities

Recent changes in corporate governance codes and the rise of ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) investments have heightened the demand for proactive and strategic information disclosure.
