What makes an annual report informative, trustworthy and capable of bringing a company’s brand to life? This year’s Swiss Annual Report Rating, organised by the HarbourClub, recognised the most compelling annual reports in Switzerland. On 21 September 2026, representatives of the Swiss communications industry gathered at Zurich’s SIX ConventionPoint to honour the best reports of the year. The Swiss Annual Report Rating highlights how companies communicate their business performance, strategy and responsibility – and which solutions are particularly convincing in terms of content, design and readability.

The submitted annual reports are assessed by expert juries according to defined criteria. These include the quality of the Value Reporting, the clarity and distinctiveness of the design, and the quality of the texts. The full rankings are published in the categories Overall Ranking, Value Reporting, Design and Text.
