Communication with the market and the environment
The open information policy, ensuring equal access to information without any preferences to any stakeholder groups, forms basis for the corporate governance binding at Grupa KĘTY S.A.
Many times in its history, the Company has been honoured and awarded for its efforts in this area, which is supervised by the Investor Relations Director. The Company has been continuously adapting to the changing expectations and requirements of its stakeholders and the environment in terms of the manner and form of communication, taking care to maintain security and bearing in mind its status of a public company, using the following means of communication, as an example:
- current and interim reports;
- face-to-face individual and group meetings;
- electronic tools (corporate website, profiles in social media, online broadcasts of corporate events).
Along with communicating the planned dates of interim reports publication, Grupa KĘTY S.A. also announces and publishes on its website the calendar of the most important corporate events scheduled for a given year. The Company regularly discloses the financial result forecast for a given year and the estimated financial figures for a given quarter, together with information on the most important events affecting its operations and financial results. The Capital Group development directions and long-term financial goals, including ESG goals, are presented in the disclosed development strategies of the Capital Group.
Following the end of each quarter and each time a major event occurs, the Company organises conferences for stakeholders where the Management Board discusses the disclosed financial results, presents additional information and answers questions that arise. The conferences are broadcast online and archived on the corporate website. With regard to the growing interest in the Company among foreign investors, in particular following the Company shares inclusion in the WIG20 index in 2022, for the first time in history the Company provided simultaneous translation of the organised conferences into English, and expects to maintain this practice in the following years. Further, occasional tours of the Capital Group plants are organised for various stakeholder groups. During such events, the production process is presented and background information on the Capital Group operations and history is provided. In May 2022, following a temporary abandonment of the practice in 2020 and 2021 due to the COVID pandemic, a visit to some of the production halls of the Capital Group was organised for a limited group of people. Also in 2022, the Company published for the first time its 2021 Integrated Report, and intends to continue the report publishing in the following years.
Information about the Company and its prospects is available in reports and recommendations published by leading brokerage houses. The list of analysts who regularly publish reports about the Company is available on the corporate website.
Information regarding the Company and the Capital Group may also be obtained through direct contact with the appointed persons, as indicated on the Company corporate website.
