Capricorn Group scoops regional award
The awards recognise the importance of integrated reporting and the information it provides to shareholders and stakeholders.
Capricorn Group recently scooped the Regional Company Award at the Annual Integrated Reporting Awards of 2017.
The event was hosted by Chartered Secretaries Southern Africa in partnership with the JSE Limited in Johannesburg.
Almost 100 companies entered their integrated reports in ten categories of which Capricorn Group won the regional company category, a category won by a Swaziland-based company in 2015 and 2016.
The Integrated Reporting Awards have been rewarding excellence in corporate reporting since 1956 by Chartered Secretaries Southern Africa, which is an independent professional body with an interest in good corporate governance and committed to promoting reporting excellence in the region. The ceremony recognised the importance of integrated reporting and the information it provides to shareholders and stakeholders. The judges scored entries against a score sheet similar to the Integrated Reporting (IR) Framework.
“We are extremely proud that we have been honoured with this award, which is recognition that our 2017 Integrated Report, only our second that adheres to the International Integrated Reporting Council’s IR Framework and our first report that includes our subsidiaries in Botswana and Zambia, is regarded as best practice in transparent communication with shareholders and other stakeholders,” says Marlize Horn, Capricorn’s group executive: brand and corporate affairs. Horn, who accepted the award on behalf of the group, is also the chairperson of Capricorn’s investor relations committee.
“As a leading financial institution listed on the Namibian Stock Exchange, Capricorn Group believes that credibility is key to value creation. We believe that we are part of a bigger, interconnected global system. Our approach to being a responsible, regional and global citizen is built into the DNA of all our businesses in Namibia, Botswana and Zambia.
“Our 2017 Integrated Report provides a holistic view of our group and reflects the value created during the financial year which ended on 30 June 2017 and is primarily aimed at providers of financial capital, but also takes a holistic and stakeholder-orientated view of the social, environmental and governance aspects that are related to the group’s activities and performance,” Horn says.
