The banner of corporate communications
The Annual Report is becoming the banner of corporate communications in the West. Through it management is able to promote the essence of the company's vision, goals, and professionalism to all stakeholders, including not only investors, but employees, customers, suppliers, and credit providers.

Connects with stakeholders overseas
The Annual Report as a stakeholder document provides more value still for companies with offices overseas, since they have a wider range of stakeholders to address in English. It provides an opportunity for them to express the core of their values and through this to build a sense of corporate identity, despite the separation of national borders.
