Triple A

> Strongly eye-catching and really inviting report cover, derived from Harvard Business Review style. This style and approach is sustained in most of the chapters of the report (with bold headlines, sound bites...).
> 16 Reasons to Invest in Adaro are more than just a button on the cover; they are extensively developed inside –from Best EBITDA Margin (Selected Page) to large reserves of coal, from organic growth to Skilled and Professional Management. All make up a more convincing investment proposition than the one seen in hundreds of annuals.
> Financial Highlights span over five years, are displayed in an original format, and are ratio-intensive.
> Business model and past and future growth drivers made very clear.
 

Double A

> Board of Directors’ letter gives a good blend of strategic views and a year overview. There is also a special Message by the President Director set in an upbeat tone.
> Good review of operations and market environment.
> Share information (including details about IPO proceeds) and wrap-up of investor relations activities.
 

Simple A

> 7-point comparison of practices vs. Principles and Recommendations in a decent governance section, especially for a largely government-owned group.
> Some charts, maps, sketches add value or animate the pages.
> Various community initiatives highlighted.
 

B Sides

> No clear financial goals.
> Risk factors and management not up to what should be reported, especially in the industry context.
>Lack of transparency on boards’ remuneration.
> Financial statements and notes are difficult to read.
> No real targets set on responsibility matters, not least regarding the envitonment.
