Following the success of previous editions, CIE Automotive was once again honoured by the world's leading financial sector ranking company, Institutional Investor. The company is once again the most recognised company in the "Small & Midcap" segment in the automotive sector. It repeats, among other mentions, leadership in categories such as "Best CEO", with our CEO Jesús María Herrera in first position in the ranking among the "Small & Midcap" European automotive companies, the "Best IR Professional" award for Lorea Aristizabal, the "Best IR Team" award and the "Best IR Program" award. This year, highlights also include the "Best ESG" and "Best Company Board" awards in its category.

The “Developed Europe Executive Team” awards are based on a survey of analysts and fund managers, which this year involved 1,380 investment professionals at 632 financial services firms. CEOs were rated on their credibility, leadership and communication. For the Investor Relations programs, companies were rated on the following attributes: productivity of roadshows/conferences; earnings calls; business and market knowledge; responsiveness; authority and credibility; timing of financial disclosure; consistency of financial disclosure; and granularity of financial disclosure. Additionally, voters also rated each company on the quality of analyst/investor events, company board, and ESG metrics.
