- Ceremonial presentation of the award during the annual conference of the Cercle Investor Relations Austria (CIRA) on 12 October 2022 in Vienna.
AMAG Austria Metall AG received the "Effective Sustainability Communicator Award" for the second time for its holistic and transparent sustainability reporting. This award was presented for the first time in 2021 due to the increasing importance of sustainability aspects in financial market communications, and was already awarded to AMAG last year.
All 39 companies of the Austrian ATX Prime Standard were analysed. AMAG was able to convince with top scores in its integrative understanding of sustainability and landed in second place overall. Christoph Gabriel, Head of Investor Relations, accepted the award on behalf of AMAG at the annual conference of the Cercle Investor Relations Austria (CIRA for short) on 12 October 2022 in Vienna.
Gerald Mayer, CEO of AMAG Austria Metall AG on the award: "Receiving the 'Effective Sustainability Communicator Award' once again confirms our holistic understanding of sustainability. AMAG's strategy is based on sustainability, innovation, human touch and diversity. We are therefore particularly pleased that we were able to convince the jury once again this year with our open and transparent financial reporting."
The focus of this year's analysis was primarily on the quality of sustainability reporting. Particular attention was paid to the integrative understanding on the topic of sustainability. The ongoing financial reporting, investor presentations and internet presence in the area of investor relations served as a basis.
The assessment was carried out by the professorship of Accounting and Auditing at the HHL Leipzig Graduate School of Management, headed by Prof. Dr. Henning Zülch, and the Hamburg-based consulting firm Kirchhoff Consult.
