Titanium Award for the Best Integrated Report (NEW CATEGORY)
The King IV principle 5 emphasises the importance of the governing body ensuring that the organisation’s reports enable stakeholders to make informed assessments on the entity’s performance and short, medium, and long-term prospects.
Organisational stakeholders always seek to better understand the company’s strategy, competitive position, empowerment efforts, sustainability (broad definition), SDG elements such as access to essential services (Constitutional mandate), impact on health status and healthcare quality, and member satisfaction, among other things. While the integrated report is work in progress for all organisations, it does reflect the level of governance and improvements made on many aspects of the operational environment.
This award seeks to recognise the organisation for the progress made, completeness, conciseness and usability of the report by stakeholders.
