For the third consecutive year, JBS has topped the main categories of the Institutional Investor awards, one of the most respected in the financial market. The publication chose the company’s executives as the best CEO and CFO in the food and beverage sector in Latin America in 2024. The company was also elected “Most Honored”, which considers all the sectors analyzed by the magazine. In the food and beverage category, the company ranks first. Additionally, JBS’s Investor Relations teams and Board of Directors won first place in the awards for the industry.
The individual award for best CEO went to Gilberto Tomazoni, while Guilherme Cavalcanti received the award for best CFO. Both maintained the leadership achieved in 2022 and 2023. The same happened in the Best IR Program category, led once again by JBS. The company was also recognized as the best investor relations team in the sector in Latin America for the 4th consecutive year.
“Receiving the highest distinction in Institutional Investor’s annual awards reinforces our daily commitment to excellence,” says Gilberto Tomazoni. For him, the award is an important recognition of the success of JBS’s strategy of offering value and growth to its investors. “Over the last five years, the company has delivered an average total return to shareholders of 25% annually in reais and 17% annually in dollars,” he adds.
Institutional Investor’s rankings are drawn up based on a public vote in which more than 1,000 professionals from global financial institutions take part. “The result reinforces the consistency of JBS’s relationship with the capital markets,” says Guilherme Cavalcanti.
JBS stood out in a total of eight categories. In addition to cest CEO, CFO and IR Program, Investor Relations Director Christiane Assis won 1st place in the category (SellSide). The voting period for the 2024 edition ran from May to August, via the magazine’s website. The award will be presented at a dinner on September 5 in New York, where Institutional Investor is based.
