“We are extremely happy about these recognitions. Kemira has always been highly committed to proactive and transparent investor relations and we do this work with passion. Our CFO Petri Castrén has played an important role in Kemira’s IR work and we want to thank him now that he will leave the company. We will continue to drive active dialogue with analysts and investors with our CEO Antti Salminen, our upcoming CFO Tuomas Mäkipeska and IR Manager Heidi Lehmuskumpu”, says Kiira Fröberg, Vice President, Investor Relations.

The IR Nordic Markets (former Regi’ Annual Investor Relations study) is an annual study of investor relations in Nordic listed companies, conducted by Invest In Relations now for the 28th time. It recognizes the companies, investor relations officers (IROs), and chief financial officers (CFOs) who, according to analysts, excel in their communication with the capital market.

The study is based on independent assessments by sell-side financial analysts and aims to strengthen transparency and quality in communication between companies and the capital market. The survey includes 21 criteria, from the annual and quarterly reports to the perception of the relations management and competence of the IRO team. This year’s study gathered more than 1,000 independent assessments from analysts in the Nordic countries, the UK, the EU, and the US. A total of 123 Nordic listed companies are included in the survey.
