A new standalone guide from SIX Swiss Exchange will help companies with their sustainability requirements.
Sustainability is a megatrend, and one that issuers cannot afford to ignore, especially as legislators, regulators and investors are becoming increasingly proactive in this area.
In the case of regulation, new reporting requirements demand that companies disclose their sustainability activities and figures. However, not all of these regulatory guidelines are standardised, and this lack of harmonisation is creating challenges for issuers and investors.
Better standardisation around sustainability reporting is something which SIX Swiss Exchange has been actively pursuing.
Our Sustainability Handbook contains a selection of specialist articles and guidance that are relevant to you as a listed company. These have been written by several sustainability experts. The thematic focus of the articles was chosen to answer questions that have emerged from numerous conversations with company representatives.
We want to support our listed companies with their sustainability reporting activities. In addition to fulfilling regulatory requirements, companies which embed sustainability into their operating models are more likely to thrive versus those that don’t. Our Sustainability Guide will be a vital resource for companies looking for a navigator through the sustainability ecosystem.
Issuer Relations Team
During the ups and downs of the stock markets, the importance of the relations between companies and investors, what we call Investor Relations (IR), has grown significantly over the past two decades. The increased need for information, stricter regulations, and greater transparency demand specific specialist knowledge in how to communicate with the financial market. The quality of a company’s IR exerts a direct influence on investment behavior and the share price.
This practical handbook shows how IR officers can deal with these challenges and what instruments Investor Relations provides for this. This 6th edition of the handy companion describes the current status of specialist knowledge and offers an insight into professional IR as a part of corporate strategy.
How companies can do the right thing on the stock market and, moreover, know why - that should be made a little easier for you by reading this guide.
Vera Güttinger, Head Issuer Relations, Primary Markets, SIX Swiss Exchange
Investor Relations is a field of action in strategic corporate communication. It describes the management by a stock corporation of its relations with investors.
The primary goal of Investor Relations is to optimize the company’s market valuation or its equity financing.
Maintaining close relations with institutional investors also helps.
A good Investor Relations and communication program starts with a good analysis. What strengths and weaknesses does the company have from an investor’s perspective?
Investor Relations gains strategic relevance in exceptional situations, such as transactions (M&A), the emergence of shareholder activists, and in crises.
The actual and target status of the Investor Relations objectives is identified and the target groups, perception, instruments and communication principles are defined in the Investor Relations strategy.
