Swiss Annual Report Rating 2024: The winner is Sika
The overall winner of the Swiss annual report rating goes to Sika. In second place is Geberit and in third place is BP Bank in Vaduz. The winner in the Value Reporting category is Novartis. The winner in the Design category is Hiag. A total of 235 companies were evaluated. The special "Text" prize was also awarded for the fifth time. Raiffeisen Switzerland was honored here.
The winners received their certificates from jury president Hans-Peter Nehmer on Thursday evening, September 26 at the SIX Convention Point in Zurich. The Swiss Annual Report Rating is organized annually by the HarbourClub - Chief Communications Officers. Around 160 participants took part in the event.
The Swiss Annual Report Rating includes the annual reports of all listed companies represented in the SPI. The list is supplemented with the companies from the 50 companies with the highest turnover, the 15 insurance companies with the highest premium volume and the 25 banks with the highest balance sheet total. 235 companies were evaluated in 2024.
With this year's annual report rating, the process will undergo an adjustment: the previous three juries will become two. The final jury, which previously assessed the twelve best reports, has been removed. This will give the Value Reporting and Design juries more weight in the nomination and award process. The Value Reporting jury of the Institute for Banking and Finance at the University of Zurich is headed by Prof. Dr. Alexander F. Wagner, while the Design jury is under the patronage of the ZHDK and headed by Jiri Chmelik Noir Associates. The overall winners are determined by adding the ratings of these two juries.
Another change concerns the "Rising Star of the Year" award. It will be replaced by the "Special Mention" award in the Design and Value Reporting categories. The new award recognizes innovative reports that set outstanding and creative accents. Jury president Hans-Peter Nehmer: "We share the ambition of the companies evaluated in the annual report rating to not only remain good, but to become better and better.
