The event, attended by more than 230 guests from the IR industry, investment community, and listed companies, was held on 28 June 2023, at the IR Awards Conference and Awards Presentation Luncheon.   Under the new normal, the event was held in a hybrid mode.  Thanks to the advanced technology and media partnerships allowing a wider audience of more than 4000 attendees from mainland China to join us online. We extend our heartfelt gratitude to all attendees and supporters for their dedication and commitment to outstanding IR efforts.

Mr. Joseph Chan, JP, Under Secretary for Financial Services & The Treasury of The Government of the Hong Kong SAR, was the Guest-of-Honor at the Award Presentation Luncheon and presented the prestigious award, 5-year winning companies and 3-year winning companies.  Of all the award categories, “Overall Best IR Company” is the most prestigious as the winner is selected by the judging panel among the winners of all the award categories for demonstrating all-round exemplary performance in investor relations. This year, the winners of Overall Best IR Company by company size – Large Cap and Mid Cap – are China Resources Beer (Holdings) Company Limited and Xtep International Holdings Limited. The Judging Panel concurred to withhold the Overall Best IR Company Award for Small Cap and looked forward to ongoing efforts in the adoption of IR best practices by Small Cap companies and the listed companies in Hong Kong as a whole.
