Magdalena Moll on what makes BASF’s IR team so successful

BASF is no stranger to IR Magazine Awards and, after relinquishing the top spot in the Euro Top 100 rankings to Allianz last year, the German chemicals giant is back on form. As well as regaining pole position in the Euro Top 100, BASF took home five awards as well, including the grand prix for best overall investor relations – large cap.

The German firm also took home the accolades for best corporate literature, best use of technology for investor relations, best in country and best in the chemicals/specialty chemicals sector at the IR Magazine Awards – Europe 2013.

Magdalena Moll, senior vice president of IR at BASF, talks about why the firm has done so well this year, the need to train up new IROs and how the company handled the European debt crisis.
