Billerud wins top prize for best financial website

Billerud’s website for financial information has come first in a competition to establish the best stock market company of 2007. The competition, involving all the companies listed on OMX Nordic Exchange Stockholm and the NGM exchange, is organised by Aktiespararen, an independent Swedish magazine for shareholders, and consulting firm, Kanton.
The judges found Billerud’s website to be attractive and easy to navigate with a clear and logical structure. The section of information entitled “Investors” was considered to be excellent. Of special merit is the fact that the most recent events appear immediately when you access the site.
“Analysts and journalists demand fast and easy access to key financial information. Billerud also has 144,000 shareholders who require information about the company. Communicating with shareholders outside Sweden, who own around 44% of the share capital, is also important. Billerud’s website is an eco-friendly, fast and cost-efficient way to distribute information. We are fully committed to keeping our information up-to-date and relevant. It is therefore very pleasing to win this prize,” says Kerstin Nylander, who is responsible for financial information on the website for investors.

Billerud’s website was relaunched in the spring of 2004 and has been continuously developed since then.
Aktiespararen’s competition to find the best stock market company in 2007 involves assessments in three areas: financial website, interim reports and annual report.
