Logista, one of Europe’s largest logistics operators, specialising in distribution to proximity channels, has won two awards at the Iberian Equity Awards. The awards received were: ‘Most Improved ESG Program’ in the Mid-cap category and ‘Best IR Program Sector Based’ in the industrial sector category.
The first award recognises significant progress in Logista’s ESG strategy and reflects its commitment to corporate social responsibility. On the other hand, the second award highlights the company’s commitment to transparency and responsibility in its relationship with its investors.
The Iberian Equity Awards, given by the Spanish Investor Relations Association (AERI) based on data obtained from Institutional Investor and its methodology, recognise excellence in the financial and investment world in Spain and Portugal, highlighting innovation, leadership and the outstanding achievements of companies and professionals in various categories and in the field of investor relations.
The awards were collected by Isabel Troya, Logista’s IR manager, who highlighted that: “Logista is proud to receive these awards, a recognition of the effort, dedication and cooperation of our entire ESG and IR team. This achievement would not have been possible without the support and leadership of the company’s management, whose ongoing commitment has been instrumental in achieving this level of excellence in sustainability and investor relations.”
