The ARC Awards is sponsored by US-based MerComm Inc, the world’s only independent awards organisation, founded with the mission to advance the standards of excellence in the fields of corporate communications. Annual reports that are judged to be among the best in terms of having an exceptional approach to an annual report, noteworthy creativity and unique presentation are awarded. The panels of judges comprise leaders in the fields of investor relations, writing, design and photography. As such, the ARC Awards is considered the premier annual report competition in the industry.
Commenting on the awards, Mr Tan Wang Cheow, the Executive Chairman of Food Empire said:” At Food Empire, we recognise the value of annual reports both as a communications tool with stakeholders and a showpiece for our corporate and product brands. We are honored to be receive international recognition for our creative work again, as this represents the strongest validation of our consistently high international standards, not just for products and services, but also for our corporate communications practices. Looking ahead, we will be committed to maintaining clarity in the presentation of relevant and critical information in our annual reports.” This also represents the ninth straight year running that Food Empire has been awarded at the ARC Awards, since its maiden participation in 2002.
