Sika wins the Swiss Annual Report Rating 2024
Out of a total of 235 companies evaluated, Sika emerged as the winner of this year's Swiss Annual Report Rating, followed by Geberit in second place and VPB Vaduz in third.
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.
On Thursday evening, the winners received their certificates from jury president Hans-Peter Nehmer at the SIX Convention Point in Zurich. The Swiss Annual Report Rating is organized annually by the HarbourClub - Chief Communications Officers. Around 160 participants attended the event.
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. "We share an ambition with the evaluated companies in the annual report rating to not only remain good, but to keep getting better," says jury president Hans-Peter Nehmer.
