Active investor relations
KION GROUP AG’s investor relations team was once again a reliable point of contact for the capital markets in 2023. Extensive, active dialogue with the capital markets was very important, particularly as the outlook for the year was raised several times and there was a change of Chief Financial Officer.
Analysts and investors were able to talk to the investor relations team during a total of 35 days of conferences and roadshows. As had also been the case in 2022, one of the events was a virtual conference focusing on ESG aspects.
In its 2022 sustainability report, the KION Group provided details of its sustainability management approach. On July 6, 2023, KION GROUP AG announced that it had signed up to the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi), which provides an underlying methodology for KION’s ongoing support of the United Nations’ Paris climate agreement and its goal of limiting global warming to 1.5°C.
KION GROUP AG’s 2023 Annual General Meeting took place on May 17, 2023 in Frankfurt and returned to being held as an in-person event for the first time since the outbreak of the coronavirus pandemic. A total of around 84 percent of the share capital was represented. All questions were answered individually during the meeting. There were no countermotions, nominations, or requests for additions to the agenda. A video of the speech made by Chief Executive Officer Rob Smith is available at www.kiongroup.com/en/Investor-Relations/Shareholders-Meeting.
To coincide with the publication of the 2022 annual report on March 2, 2023, the Executive Board of KION GROUP AG explained the results at a financial statements press conference and at a conference call for analysts and investors. In addition, the Executive Board held conference calls to report on each set of quarterly results. Transcripts from the conference calls for the 2022 annual results and 2023 quarterly results, along with the associated presentations, form part of the extensive information for analysts and investors that is available on the Company’s website.
