Triple A> The report is delivered with a pair of gloves. Not a purposeless gimmick at all, as it tells about the business and kicks off the report theme.> Maximized use of covers, front and back, outside and inside, for communication: a strong message, key figures, a mailing card, and Why Invest in Strabag SE? as back cover (see Selected Page below). > Extremely comprehensive key figures, placed in the inside front cover: over 5 years, aggregate and by segment, stressing output, backed with charts. > Strabag at a Glance makes up a clear introduction to the group and its business areas. > Strategy at the reader’s fingertips –literally: from group principles to market position, from access to resources to the business model, from acquisitions to cost control. > Special section about Order Backlog, which is key to (understanding) business development. |
|
Double A> Good Shares, Bonds and Investor Relations chapter, that includes comments, contacts, practical information, a number of share-based figures and ratios, and bonds.> Financial performance and financing condition well analyzed. > Transparent boards’ details. |
|
Simple A> Major sustainability issues addressed, but left out of the core annuals.> Notes to statements do their job, but could tell more. |
|
B sides> Not the lightest volume.> Dividend not highlighted. > Photos tell about projects but seem to be pushed or stuck where and when some space is available. |
