OREANDA-NEWS. August 20, 2014. Agricultural Bank of China Limited (ABC) won the “golden shield award” for investor relations of listed companies in the Fifth Chinese Listed Company Risk Management Summit and Golden Shield Award Selection Activity.

The selection of the “golden shield award” is open to all domestic listed companies.

The review committee is made up of famous economists, law experts of universities including Peking University, Tsinghua University, Renmin University of China, and independent risk consultant experts. It carried out independent reviews about the listed companies’ management level of investor relations from qualitative and quantitative dimensions, with the help of risk management analysis tools and data of financial accounting, finance and law.

This year, 48 out of the more than 2,000 domestic listed companies won the award. Among the winners, there are four listed banks, namely, ABC, Industrial and Commercial Bank of China, Industrial Bank and Bank of Beijing. ABC’s wining “golden shield award” for investor relations of listed companies shows the recognition and acknowledgement of the industry to its work in terms of corporate dividend, investor relations activities, information disclosure of investors, management system and institutional construction of investor relations, and network public opinion management of investor relations.

In recent years, with the guidance and participation of the leadership of ABC, its activities for investor relations have grown rapidly and achieved good results.
