The evolution of IR

London Stock Exchange Issuer Services

This report sets out the findings of a new survey on current key trends in IR from London Stock Exchange Issuer Services, including its growing strategic importance and its many increased responsibilities over the past two years.

The two key drivers of this change are digitization and the ESG agenda.

More than half of survey respondents say that ESG had made the most significant impact on their IR strategy and approach over the past two years, and nearly two-thirds (60%) had developed new IR strategies and policies in the past year. An emerging consideration for IR strategies is changing investor demographics.
