A delighted Emira CEO, James Templeton, says he is extremely proud to have been given this award by the IAS, which is the leading analyst and investor organization in South Africa.

Maintains Templeton: “Our success can be attributed to Emira continuously seeking to provide its shareholders with information that is up-to-date and relevant. We believe that Emira is an attractive investment opportunity and we constantly seek ways to convey this message to the investing public.”

Templeton says that while operational performance is important to shareholders, equally important is the need to clearly communicate this performance to shareholders. Accurate communication of a company’s performance helps ensure that this performance is reflected in the share price and also helps attract a wider group of investors as shareholders in the company.

“Good investor relations,” he adds, “is always about honesty and transparency.”
