INVESTOR RELATIONS In 2024, we prioritised consistent, timely communication with the global investment community, facilitating in-depth discussions on operational performance, financial achievements and ESG matters. These updates were delivered through group and one-on-one meetings, conference calls, investor conferences and roadshows, offering a comprehensive view of the Group’s progress. We actively engaged with sell-side analysts, maintaining coverage by 14 analysts. We also monitored analyst, industry and media reports to refine our communication strategies and disclosures. We conducted results briefings for our half-year and full-year results, along with market update briefings for the first and third quarters. Following the release of the half-year and full-year results, our Group President & CEO and Group CFO held post-results meetings with investors to share insights and updates. Notably, during the 1Q2024 Market Updates Briefing, we spotlighted our Digital Business, addressing heightened interest in AI by showcasing our capabilities in Cloud, AI and Cybersecurity. At the Singapore Airshow 2024, investors and analysts participated in guided tours of our Pavilion, getting a closer look at our innovations. Our outreach extended to non-deal roadshows and investor conferences in key financial hubs such as Canada, Hong Kong, Japan, the UK and the U.S., supplemented by institutional investor meetings and calls. We also engaged ESG research and rating agencies to communicate our sustainability framework and priorities. These discussions, supported by leaders from Sustainability, Human Resources and Risk & Assurance, reinforced transparency and enabled us to refine our ESG disclosures to meet evolving expectations. Retail investors remain a key stakeholder group. The 2024 AGM was held in person in April, with the Notice of Meeting published more than two weeks before the required notice period. Shareholders were invited to submit their questions beforehand, and proxy voting was made available for those unable to attend. The Group President & CEO presented a review of the year and an outlook for the business, followed by voting on resolutions. The voting results were published on SGXNet and our corporate website on the same day and the minutes were published on SGXNet and our corporate website within a month. To enhance engagement, our AGM featured a technology and innovation showcase, where our engineers and product experts demonstrated cutting-edge technologies. This fostered confidence among retail shareholders in our innovation leadership. Our efforts in transparency and engagement were recognised with the “Best Investor Relations” Gold Award for companies with a market capitalisation of $1 billion and above at the Singapore Corporate Awards 2024. This accolade highlights our commitment to sustainable growth and delivering lasting value to our shareholders. Our corporate website serves as the primary source for corporate, financial and sustainability information. The dedicated IR section hosts key resources, including financial results, investor presentations, annual reports and updates. All material information are promptly posted following its release on SGXNet, ensuring fair and timely dissemination of information. Guided by the principles in our IR Policy, accessible on our website, we continually evaluate our disclosure practices to align with industry standards. This ensures that investors receive the information necessary for well-informed decision-making. 52 ST ENGINEERING | ANNUAL REPORT 2024
