4. Provision of feedback reports

This year, we will again send a feedback report to all companies that once responded to the DX survey. The report allows respondents to compare their responses with the overall average, industry average, and average of the selected companies.
Starting this year, all companies that have progressed to the second stage of the selection process will be provided with an additional report that also will show their level of achievement in numerical terms, not only for multiple-choice questions but also for those inviting a free-form response, along with comments from the Selection Committee members. The content has been improved significantly compared to the previous year, so we hope companies make use of it to further promote their actions of DX.
The feedback report is scheduled to be sent around early June.
