The IR Magazine Awards is an annual event that "celebrates the success of those individuals and companies that are leading the way in IR across Europe." Odfjell was nominated and shortlisted in the ‘Best overall investor relations’ category for small-cap companies.
Any publicly-traded company is eligible to be considered for the award. The shortlist is the result of the votes and opinions from hundreds of analysts and investors on which companies provide the best IR service: “This category covers companies that have most impressed the investment community with their overall IR program”.
In addition to small-cap companies, awards are given to mid-cap companies (market cap between €1 bn and €7.5 bn) and small-cap companies (market cap of €7.5 bn and above), in addition to awarding IR teams within various sectors. Among the winners this year were Adidas, Nestlé, Deutche Post DHL, Novo Nordisk and our customer BASF, among others.
Norwegian companies have in recent years received increased praise and attention for good investor relations work, which shows in the shortlisted companies within our category:
The shortlist and award process are broadly marketed and serves as a benchmarking tool for the investor community.
IR Magazine is an independent magazine focusing on investor relations in a global perspective. The region-specific awards have been "the definitive hallmark of IR excellence and best practice for over 20 years".
