The awards were divided into two sections. The awards-by-research categories are decided by a survey of portfolio managers, buy-side analysts and sell-side analysts who cover companies across mainland China, Hong Kong and Taiwan.
The awards-by-nomination categories allow companies to submit entries covering a range of IR practice areas, from investor meetings to ESG reporting and use of technology, with the winners chosen by a panel of judges.
The awards event followed the IR Magazine Forum – Greater China, where attendees watched a series of panel discussions on key IR trends and challenges impacting the region.
