Sharp design and clear text in corporate reports highlight what is most important for shareholders - and for the public
SCOOPING THE BEST Report Award in the 2005 Hong Kong Management Association Best Annual Reports Awards for the third year running, CLP Holdings produced what Howard Gorges, chairman of the nine-member panel of adjudicators, called 'an outstanding annual report'.
'CLP has again excelled. It has a great team and has put in a tremendous amount of work and co-ordination with senior members of the board to produce this award-winning report,' said Mr Gorges, who is also vice-chairman of South China Brokerage.
In the General category, HSBC Holdings won the gold award, with The Hongkong and Shanghai Hotels and MTR Corporation taking silver, and the Airport Authority, Hong Kong Exchanges and Clearing and Hysan Development each winning a bronze award.
The Securities and Futures Commission won gold under the Non-profit Making and Charitable Organisations category, with the Hong Kong Monetary Authority collecting silver, and the Hong Kong Jockey Club and Tung Wah Group of Hospitals both receiving bronze awards.
Esprit and City University were the two citation award winners for achievement in design, and CLP, Hysan Development and the Securities and Futures Commission were each cited for achievement in corporate governance disclosure.
