30 IR stars in 30 days: ARC Resources

IR Magazine has a long history of honoring those men, women and companies around the world that excel at investor relations. In celebration of 30 years of IR Magazine, we selected 30 IR stars that have shone particularly brightly over the past three decades and will be posting one profile each day for 30 days, giving you the gift of an IR advent calendar.

ARC Resources approaches its investors as partners in its business. ‘Our role is not to promote our stock, but rather inform all relevant investors of our strategy and long-term plans,’ says Bevin Wirzba, the company’s senior vice president of capital markets and business development. ‘At times we’re not the right equity for investors to consider but, regardless, we are able to have strong relationships with investors that may or may not ever be in our shareholder base.’

ARC Resources has won 26 IR Magazine Awards since 2006 under the IR leadership of Wirzba and his predecessor, David Carey, who won the lifetime achievement award at the IR Magazine Awards – Canada 2014.

Stay tuned for more IR stars this week and pick up a copy of the winter issue of IR Magazine to see the full list.

A version of this article was published in the winter 2018 issue of IR Magazine – the 30th anniversary issue of IR Magazine.
