‘I look for a few things when judging this category:

  • The contents of the website: does it contain enough information for anyone to learn what the company is and what it does?
  • Ease of navigation: this one is quite subjective but different stakeholders should be able to access and locate what they need easily
  • IR contact details: here I expect to find IR contact information, newsletter subscription options, the corporate presentation – which is different from annual reports and/or official earnings announcements
  • A short corporate video would be great
  • Desktop, tablet and mobile-friendly versions that all work seamlessly
  • Past investor events, upcoming investor events and the option for investors to register for these via the website
  • Design: it is always a bonus when the design complements the business or the sector the company is in.’

This year, the as-yet undecided judging panel will choose the best in IR from across eight categories at each event:

  • Best annual report
  • Best crisis management
  • Best ESG materiality reporting
  • Best investor event
  • Best IR during a corporate transaction
  • Best IR website
  • Best use of multimedia for IR
  • Rising star.
