IR Global Rankings registration period for all companies closes on July 12th!
NEW YORK, June 18, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- IR Global Rankings ("IRGR"), the most comprehensive technical ranking system for Investor Relations Websites, Online Annual Report, Corporate Governance Practices and Financial Disclosure Procedures, announces that the registration period for all companies from all regions will close on July 12th, 2013!
The greatest news is that, this year, there is a new award - Top CFO/IRO!
To be eligible for this award, companies must register for Package 2, as the award will be based on the highest number of accumulated points in the four categories under evaluation (IR Website, Online Annual Report, Financial Disclosure Procedures and Corporate Governance).
This year there will be one unique registration period, for all companies from all regions, and one grand award ceremony to celebrate all of our global winners!
We are also pleased to announce that POP+ is back!
POP+ is an award which will determine, by popular vote, the most popular IR Website in the world. The main objective is to bring greater awareness of investor relations to a wider public, through their respective IR Website, as well as value and recognize those publicly-traded companies that best communicate with their stakeholders. You can vote at www.irglobalrankings.com, and the results will be announced at the global award ceremony.
Winners have the right to display the POP+ award logo on their website until the 2014 POP+ begins. All companies that participate in POP+ have the right to use the promotional material (banner, POP+ logo, etc) to encourage potential votes.
Don't miss out! In order to participate, companies have to register at www.irglobalrankings.com.
