cloudtec has been developing award-winning digital annual reports for listed companies for years.
Every joint-stock company, limited liability company, association, cooperative and foundation is obliged to submit an annual report for the previous financial year. Nowadays, however, many companies that are exempt from this obligation also do so, as the annual report has become a marketing tool.
The annual report provides information about the profitability of the company, the company's strategy and the annual financial statements.
Many companies nowadays do this via an online presence, such as ZKB or Valora.
What belongs in an annual report?
- The management report - this shows the company's strategy and its goals.
- Corporate governance section - this is where the board of directors and shareholders introduce themselves.
- Financial report - the financial report presents the figures for the financial year (balance sheet, income statement, notes, audit report, etc.).
Annual report as an image tool
- Larger companies are also focusing more and more on the general presentation of the company with further information such as "sustainability" and showing what the company is doing in these areas.
- Companies are taking the opportunity to present themselves from a slightly different angle than just presenting the figures.
Advantages of the online annual report
- The absolute minimum is that you make the annual report available as a PDF on the company website.
- But what are the advantages of making the annual report available online, digitally, ? There are actually some advantages, which are indispensable!
More reader reach
- The report is available to all users 24/7 and can be reached centrally by all target groups.
Interactions
- Videos or beautiful animations can be integrated without any problems. This way you can present and communicate the company to the visitor even better.
Search engine optimization
- The company will rank better in Google search, as the content of the company website can be linked to. In addition, the annual report can be easily shared on social media channels.
Conversion analysis
- If the annual report is digitized, then the company can analyze the conversions with Matomo, for example, and can push content in the next annual report in a targeted manner.
Sustainability
- When you make the annual report available online, you also help the environment because less paper is used.
