Top Corporate Communicators recognised at the Business Day Investor Relations Advertising Awards

Netcare is proud that through the creativity of our agencies Overend Outsource and Bastion Graphics, we scooped top honours in this year's Business Day Investor Relations Awards at a Gala event that was held at Melrose Arch on 4th March 2009.

The annual Business Day Investor Relations Awards recognises and rewards excellence in Investor Relations and the critical part it forms in the company's communications with its stakeholders. Specifically considered in these awards is the creativity, good reporting, clear level of communication to all levels of stakeholders and the role of Investor Relations in financial disclosure, social and environmental issues as well as the corporate governance of an organisation. As stated by Business Day, the quality of each company's means of communication often goes a long way towards determining the manner in which companies are evaluated in comparison with their industry peers.

These awards are based on companies that placed Investor Relations advertisements in the Business Day during the year March 1, 2007 and February 28, 2008. Corporate website entrants were required to have placed Investor Relations communications in Business Day print in the same period, as well as to have had their sites accessible on the World Wide Web from March 1, 2007.

The winners included:

• For Netcare Limited - Interim Results Category: Bastion Graphics; and
• For Netcare Limited - Corporate Website Category: Overend Outsource.

Netcare was ranked in the Excellence category in the E & Y2009 rankings for Excellence in Corporate Reporting. See Netcare in the news dated 22/05/2009.
