LONDON, February 22, 2012 /PRNewswire/ --

As followers of the news agenda over the past year will recognise, company relations are at a critical juncture. As a result of the executive decisions of certain large organisations in relation to questionable remuneration and management decisions, the relationship between executives and the shareholders is decidedly frosty.

World Finance recognises that shareholder relations are a diplomatic art in which some companies have shown greater capability than others. The Corporate Governance Awards 2012 recognise the companies that have excelled in this area.

The magazine's review of executive choices made within each of our winning companies showed an excellent attentiveness to employee and shareholder relations. World Finance also assessed the manner that key decisions have then been communicated within the winning companies and deemed their structures to be highly efficient and informative.

World Finance congratulates the winners of the Corporate Governance Awards 2012 and offers up their success as a fine example for the businesses whose corporate practices have proven wanting in recent times.
