Metalloinvest’s 2015 annual report has received several accolades at the MarCom Awards competition.

Metalloinvest received a platinum award in the “Annual Report” and the “E-Annual Report” categories and a gold award in the “Best Staff Development Project” category of MarCom Awards. The MarCom Awards are one of the largest and best-respected international corporate communications competitions. The Association of Marketing and Communication Professionals (AMCP), based in the U.S. and active since 1995, organizes the awards. Every year, the competition attracts more than 6,000 participants from 30 countries around the world. These include large companies; advertising, design, and public relations (PR) agencies; as well as freelancers. Winners are selected in more than 300 categories, which are organized by type. These include “Print Media,” “Strategic Communications,” “Electronic Media,” and “Video and Audio.”

Metalloinvest’s 2015 annual report was published under the slogan “Proven Leadership.” The concept of the report is based on the key characteristics of the company: stability, sustainable development in a constantly changing market environment, and a strengthening position in the global and regional markets.

The main theme of the report is reinforced by the design concept “Report within a Report,” which reveals the key factors in Metalloinvest’s success: its unique resource base, low controllable cash costs, demand-driven production, and diversified sales geography. These competitive advantages enable the company to maintain a high level of sustainability in the challenging macroeconomic environment.

The “Metalloinvest Professions” video project was a winner in the “Best Staff Development Project” category. The series consists of 10 videos about the company’s main roles and is aimed at increasing the prestige of its blue-collar and engineering professions.

This is not the first time that Metalloinvest’s commitment to transparency and adherence to the best practices in corporate reporting has garnered recognition from experts.
