Best overall company IR

These awards are for the companies that have the best overall IR programme, so it will include the contributions made by the IR department themselves and the executive team including the CEO, CFO and Chairman. This is not an award for the company whose share price has performed best, but rather the company that has communicated most effectively with its stakeholders during the year, whether this has been good or bad news. 

The Voted Awards, run in partnership with Extel, generally address a large buy- and sell-side audience who vote for their preferred companies/IROs under each category. The winner for each category will be determined by the most number of votes. For more information and the methodology please visit: https://www.extelinsights.com/
