    Adapting to change in Greater China: IR strategies for a sustainable, digital and global era

    The investor relations landscape in Greater China was being reshaped by rapid technological advances, growing ESG expectations, tighter budgets and increasing geopolitical pressures. Digital tools such as automation and Artificial Intelligence (AI) were transforming how companies and their stakeholders analyze data, engage target investors and communicate effectively – but they also raised new limitations around governance, data security and engagement. Concurrently, regulatory shifts and growing scrutiny on sustainability demand greater transparency and innovative approached to bridging expertise and data gaps. 

    Geopolitical dynamics, market volatility and currency fluctuations added further complexity, influencing capital flows, investor sentiment and the strategies companies must be adopted to maintain trust and long-term support. For small and mid-cap firms, these challenges were compounded by barriers to visibility and liquidity in highly competitive markets.

    THE FORUM

    The event began with our IR forum where investors, analysts, senior management and heads of IR from small, mid-cap and large-cap companies came together to discuss key issues and share award-winning best practices for investor relations, sustainability, corporate governance and communications.

    The forum highlighted practical strategies for leveraging technology responsibly, meeting rising ESG standards, engaging effectively across diverse investor bases and building resilience in an unstable market environment. 

    THE AWARDS

    We presented two types of awards categories – researched and nominated – both celebrating the success of those individuals and companies that were leading the way in IR in Greater China.

    For our researched categories, companies do not submit nominations. Instead, hundreds of analysts and investors casted their votes and gave their opinions on which companies do the best IR in the region.

    In our nominated categories, companies have the opportunity to submit a written entry for aspects of IR that complement our researched categories. More information can be found in the sections below.
