The winners of the Swiss Annual Report Rating 2019 received their certificates on Wednesday evening, 18 September in Zurich. The Swiss Annual Report Rating is conducted annually by the HarbourClub - Chief Communications Officers.
The Swiss Annual Report Rating includes the annual reports of all listed companies represented in the SPI. The list is supplemented with the companies of 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, and comprises 238 companies in 2019.
This sample was evaluated one after the other by three juries. Firstly, by the jury of the Institute for Banking and Finance (Value Reporting) of the University of Zurich under the direction of Prof. Dr. Alexander F. Wagner, and secondly by a Design jury under the direction of Jonas Voegeli and Jiri Chmelik from the Zurich University of the Arts. A final jury, led by Hans-Peter Nehmer, HarbourClub Board Member and Head of Corporate Communications at Allianz Suisse, then evaluated the twelve best annual reports - print and online - of the year selected by the preliminary juries.
Hans-Peter Nehmer: "With the Liechtensteinische Landesbank, a company that has always been among the best twelve in its class over the past ten years has won. This consistency in quality has now been rewarded by this year's top position. The Liechtensteinische Landesbank is listed on the Swiss Stock Exchange and is therefore part of our rating."
The award ceremony took place at the SIX Convention Point. The rating was made possible by the organisation partner Linkgroup and the support of Antalis, Apostroph Group, EQS Group and SIX.
All detailed results as well as the PDFs of the evaluated reports including the previous years are available on the platform www.gbrating.ch to find.
