Black Sun is pleased to announce that Tullow Oil has been awarded for the Most compelling narrative and Inchcape has been awarded for Best strategy and objectives at this years Strategic Value in Corporate Reporting Awards.

Tullow Oil’s Annual Report was described by the judges as a delightful document to use and excitingly refreshing in its efforts to engage and involve the report user. Tullow Oil effectively presented its strategic thinking, illustrated its capacity for strategic management and provided evidence of its underlying strategic capability. The judges further went on to say that with many companies typically producing detailed operational reports rather than strategically focused discussion, Tullow Oil was a distinct and refreshing exception.

Inchcape was awarded their prize as the judges found that they were crystal clear in their articulation of their core purpose, business model, vision and their strategy for achieving that vision. Inchcape were also able to show how its short-term priorities provide the strategic thrust to action its corporate strategy and overall they demonstrated compelling strategic leadership.

The Strategic Value in Corporate Reporting Awards are presented to FTSE100 and FTSE250 companies for the quality of strategy disclosure in the narrative of their corporate annual reporting.
