Japan Investor Relations Association (JIRA) is a non-profit membership organization that promotes high-quality investor relations (IR) practices among Japanese listed companies and related market participants. It works to enhance fair, timely, and effective corporate disclosure and dialogue between companies and investors.
JIRA provides education and training programs, seminars, research, and practical guidance on IR, including topics such as integrated reporting and communication of intangible assets. The association also fosters networking and shares best practices across industries. Each year it recognizes exemplary IR activities through its IR Awards, including the Best IR Award. Through these initiatives, JIRA supports companies—such as those in the chemical sector—in strengthening transparency, market engagement, and long-term value communication.
