Temasek’s 2008 annual report wins various awards
THE 2008 Temasek Review has clinched several regional and international public relations accolades for its design excellence and clarity.
The 2008 Temasek Review, for the year ended March 31 last year, summarises the investment agency’s portfolio of assets.
It was published in August last year and was designed by Addison Corporate Marketing, a London-based provider of corporate reporting services.
The investment agency made the decision to go public with the release of its first Temasek Review annual report in 2004.
The honours for the annual report came as early as last November, when it was named the financial communications campaign of the year at the Asia-Pacific PR Awards.
The judging panel for this competition included communications managers from Procter & Gamble, Nike China, Ford Motor Company and the heads of major public relations agencies.
In July, Temasek garnered a gold award in the financials capital markets category for annual reports at the Vision Awards organised by the League of American Communications Professionals.
Annual reports from 22 countries in five geographical regions were submitted for this competition.
The judges noted: ‘The level of design creativity exhibited in the report is excellent, which is supported by outstanding clarity in communicating this year’s key messages.’
Temasek’s winning streak continued last month, when it clinched honours at the International Business Awards in New York. It was named communications campaign of the year in the category for Asia (Subcontinent, Australia and New Zealand) and was among 14 finalists for the best annual report.
Created in 2003, these awards are an international, all-encompassing business competition governed by a board comprising leading figures in business and academia.
That same month, Temasek also clinched a bronze award for overall annual report in the investment house category at the International ARC Awards in New York. No gold or silver awards were presented in this category this year.
Organised by independent awards body MerComm, this is touted as the largest international competition honouring design excellence in annual reports, and draws entries from nearly 60 countries.
The investment agency also won in the financial services and investor relations’ category at the Golden World Awards for Excellence organised by the International Public Relations Association.
A total of 30 category winners were selected from 342 entries received from 42 countries.
The ceremony will be held on Oct 30 in London.
