In accordance with the overall financial and business performance, management strategy and vision, commitment to shareholders’ value, operational efficiency, investor communication and corporate governance, Emperor W&J is selected as the best listed company in Hong Kong with market capitalization under USD500 million.
With regard to the Award, Ms. Cindy Yeung, Managing Director of Emperor W&J, said, “since 1942, Emperor W&J has been relentless in building up its high-end positioning, expanding retail network at prime locations and enhancing the watch brand portfolio and, in doing so, it has won the trust of customers, especially those in the middle to high income group in the Greater China region. In mid-2008, Emperor W&J was listed on the Main Board of The Hong Kong Stock Exchange, reaching a major milestone in its development. By just listing for a few years, it is very encouraging for us to receive the Award and it proves that we are well supported by the investors due to continuous efforts of business expansion and corporate transparency. Coupled with the 70th anniversary this year, the Award is going to remind all that Emperor W&J will further enhance our competitive strengths, capture the enormous opportunities in the Chinese communities and deliver the best return to our shareholders in the years to come.”
