Admin’s Note

The chaos at Nissan’s shareholders’ meeting served as a reminder of the importance of transparency and accountability in corporate management. It is unacceptable for shareholders to see the management receiving high compensation while the company’s performance deteriorates. The management must sincerely listen to shareholders’ concerns and take concrete actions toward improving the company’s operations. To regain trust, it will be essential to reevaluate executive compensation and restructure management strategies.
