Best Practice Awards
The 2021 Best Practice Awards winners will be announced on Tuesday 23rd November 2021
About the Awards
Now in their 21st year, the IR Society Best Practice Awards offer a truly meaningful opportunity to showcase best practice in investor communications. Each award category covers companies from the largest to the smallest - across the UK, Europe and internationally - in recognition of the diverse range of listed businesses looking to the UK for excellence in IR. The real value of this awards programme is that it allows the IR Society to feed back to the IR community what great looks like in terms of how companies are communicating with their stakeholders.
We would like to thank all those companies and their agencies who have submitted their work over the last 12 months for consideration for the 2021 awards - the standard has been extremely high this year and competition has been fierce! The shortlists for the 2021 awards can be found on the awards microsite.
