Award information
criteria
This award recognises companies that have transformed their performance and long term prospects for the better, through strategic, operational and/or financial change. It celebrates companies that have embarked on a journey of material “self-help”, where significant progress only becomes visible after a year or more but which has become clear during the period under review.
Typically this transformation will have been initiated by boards placing sustainable long term shareholder returns at the top of their list of priorities and executed by executives who act and think like owners.
The Voting Panel will be looking for companies whose long term prospects have been transformed, with the accent on sustainable improvements in customer satisfaction, profitability, cashflow, return on capital, balance sheet strength/efficiency and organic growth prospects.
