Beauty products retailer Sa Sa International Holdings has been named “Best Investor Relations Company (Hong Kong)” for the fourth consecutive year by Corporate Governance Asia Magazine at the 5th Asian Excellence Awards.

And CFO and executive director Dr Guy Look was named “Asia’s Best CFO (IR)”.

Sa Sa says the awards testify to the recognition from the investment and finance community on the group’s operational strategies, financial performance, investor relations, corporate governance and ethics, as well as corporate social responsibility.

Look said the company was “deeply honored” to win the dual awards.

“Sa Sa has always strived to be accountable to our stakeholders and in particular the investment community. We uphold strong corporate governance and incorporate it into our corporate culture and operations. These two awards are definitely a great encouragement to our team.

“We will continue to make ongoing efforts to improve our investor relations work, and thrive to attain the highest standards in the industry.”

The IR honour reflects Sa Sa’s “transparent and effective communication with stakeholders through detailed, timely and fair disclosures” while the CFO accolade is given to CFOs in recognition of their ability to lead a team with vision and experience to maintain outstanding financial performances and operational strategies regardless of economic conditions.
