The short lists for the IR Magazine Awards – Brazil 2019 have been announced, with Localiza receiving four nominations and Banco Inter, Camil Alimentos, SulAmérica, Tegma Gestão Logistica and WEG all receiving three nominations each.
Awards will be presented in 12 categories this year, including gongs for best investor relations, best investor relations officer and best investor relations by a CEO or CFO – all of which are split into small, mid and large-cap categories.
Three further awards will be presented for best investor meetings, best use of technology & social media and best ESG reporting, with the latter being a new category for the Brazil Awards.
