General Director of JSC "FosAgro" Andrey Guriev voted the best CEO in the chemical sector in the first rating of leaders of companies from developing countries in the EMEA region (Europe, middle East and Africa) to 2018, prepared by the international magazine Institutional Investor.

The rating also noted the company "FosAgro", its financial Director Alexander Sarabia and head of IR Alexander Seleznev.

Rating, covering the 12 business sectors, is based on the voting results of more than 500 analysts and money managers from 300 companies, operating assets in developing countries with a total value of almost $300 billion.

Respondents could name up to four firms with high achievements in the field of corporate governance, information disclosure and engagement with investors and shareholders. In particular, we evaluated the publicity of senior management, timely and appropriate format of disclosure of financial information, prompt replies to queries, constructive conference calls, best practices and the usefulness of the reports ESG and socially responsible investment (SRI).

"Investing in the emerging markets of EMEA are not for the faint of heart in connection with economic and geopolitical uncertainty and other difficulties," said Amani Korayem, Director of sales and product development in EMEA Institutional Investor.

"But in the annual survey of the global investment community by Institutional Investor formed a strong "phalanx" companies and leaders successful in solving the problems and sharing the views and strategy of their companies with investors, she added. — In the absence of an objective quantitative assessment of IR activity and increasingly well-established functions in the IR region the results of the survey "the Best leadership in the emerging EMEA markets" provide an independent mechanism for informing and evaluation of IR strategy and help companies further improve their efficiency."

"Pleasant to me such a high evaluation of our team in communications with investors and analysts. We are aimed at creating additional value for shareholders through a strategy of organic growth and socially responsible business, and by maintaining the highest standards of transparency and corporate governance," — said General Director of "FosAgro" Andrey Guriev.
