In this category judges were looking evidence of an innovative and effective annual report that plays an integral part in the communication of the strategy and investment case of a company. It should provide a sense of the purpose, culture and identity of your organisation. Judges will also be looking for evidence of clear and concise communications, considering key stakeholders needs and how these are met through both your report and the digital expression of it.

Pages that were highlighted as being excellent included those detailing what the company does, the strategy, the business model and the key performance indicators, alongside well laid out information on corporate governance. The company had also clearly articulated how sustainability is embedded in the company’s operations and supplemented this with examples further on in the report which addressed areas such as stakeholder engagement.

Derwent’s annual report was highlighted as a strong example of best practice in reporting. The judges praised the clear statements of purpose, culture and values in the opening pages, which were reflected throughout the report. Sections on strategy, market dynamics, key performance indicators and risks were highlighted as being excellent, and the judges liked the clean and simple layout of the financials.
In the FTSE250 category, the judges also highly commended Babcock for articulating a complicated business model and delivering good sections, including those covering risks, governance, diversity and the gender pay gap, and COVID-19.
