Valmet's investor website won the 'Best investor website' contest, arranged by the Finnish Foundation for Share Promotion and the Finnish Society of Financial Analysts, in the category of Large Cap companies. In the contest, the Finnish websites of all the companies listed in Nasdaq Helsinki were evaluated. Valmet was ranked the best in the Large Cap category for the second time.

All the main target groups for investor websites - analysts, institutional investors, private investors and brokers - were represented in the jury, which was led by Professor Jarmo Leppiniemi. In their evaluation, the jury concentrated on seven criteria: usability and visual appearance; strategy, growth and profitability; presentation of net sales and financial result; financial targets and historical performance; description of risks; Corporate Governance and sustainable operations, and responsiveness on mobile devices. Compared to the previous years, this time more emphasis was put on usability on mobile devices.

The jury acknowledged Valmet especially for the clear structure of the website and illustrative graphics. "The prize is a great recognition for the persistent work we have done. We continuously strive to further develop Valmet's investor website, and have also had the courage to put effort into new communication channels, like the video gallery and our IR blog", says Calle Loikkanen, Director, Investor Relations.
