In a world that is more and
more interrelated and connected, consumers and organizations that make
up the market are more and more demanding. It is an international trend
that has evolved with the passing of
time and it forces the productive sector to be accountable and develop
more demanding corporate governance policies. Everyone is under
scrutiny and being asked to do more.
In this environment, often-used
terms, such as “transparency” have
gained popularity. Said concept is used
more frequently in the public and private spheres, and is synonymous with
things being done in the public eye.
These practices are more and more
welcomed and appreciated, especially among investors, who recognize in
them a crucial factor when making decisions. Consequently, the capital market has been forced to work to strengthen the management of this matter.
In that sense and in order to
consolidate the Colombian securities market as an attractive, quality
investment option, the Colombian
Securities Exchange (BVC) created
the IR Recognition to promote the
adoption of best practices in two dimensions among issuers: information
disclosure and investor relations.
