The Corporate & Financial Awards 2024 programme has launched today, emphasising its ongoing recognition of City communications. This year marks the awards’ 13th year and, as the landscape continues to evolve, reporting remains a prominent tool across the landscape.

For investors, asset managers, analysts and the wider stakeholder community, the Corporate & Financial Awards’ benchmarking of excellence across corporate communications spotlights the diverse and positive engagement strategies taking place at the core of the financial sector.

The Corporate & Financial Awards recognises and celebrates those who have approached challenges within corporate reporting with confidence and creativity. Each year, entries continue to impress judges by showing innovation in the face of a changing landscape. Communicators are also increasingly involved in the wellbeing of employees as well as the interests of stakeholders.

Recognising this, the Corporate & Financial Awards not only represents an encompassing and broad categorisation of the breadth of work across corporate communications, but also gathers judges with backgrounds and expertise that equally represent the City’s heterogeneity. Experienced industry professionals from bp, Lloyds Banking Group and London Stock Exchange Group illustrate the panel’s expertise.

Andrew Thomas, publishing editor of Communicate magazine, says: “As the only awards programme to truly benchmark the companies communicating to the City, and those influencing the City, the Corporate & Financial Awards has witnessed how communications have matured in its thirteen years.

"Corporate reporting, financial PR and reputation management are all celebrated by this awards programme. This year’s programme continues its pledge to recognise the variety and quality of those efforts, as each year’s entry class heralds precise, thorough and engaging work throughout the City.”

The awards are now open for submissions. The entry deadline is 28 June 2024. You can take advantage of the early entry offer and enter by 17 May in order to receive £100 off your total entry cost (or £150 as a magazine subscriber).
