Vedior’s online annual report 2005 is now available to view at www.vedior-brand-leaders.com

Vedior is one of the few companies whose annual report is fully optimised and configured to be viewed via a web browser. While it is quite usual nowadays to see online annual reports, these are normally quite limited in scope and functionality. Many companies provide a pdf file to download which is fine if you want to print out a hard copy but is not very practical to be read on a computer screen. The other common approach is to create a simple slide show but this can be cumbersome and provides little in the way of interactive content.

John Nurthen, Vedior’s Director of Corporate Affairs said, “For a lot of companies, the online annual report comes as an afterthought to the printed version and they take the easiest option when presenting the printed information on their website. By using HTML, Flash animation, dynamic hypertext links and a full featured search engine, Vedior is able to provide investors with easier navigation and additional user-friendly content. Giving the online annual report its own individual URL rather than having it buried in our corporate website also demonstrates the importance Vedior places on the Internet as a communication medium as part of our active investor relations programme.”

As well as providing financial information, an operational review for the year, corporate governance and an update on strategic issues, the annual report also takes the opportunity to explain the advantages of Vedior’s unique branding strategy.
