The Financial Transparency awards are handed out each year to the SBF 120-listed French companies with the highest quality regulatory information (including the registration document, the half-year financial report, the notice of annual general meeting and the regulatory information section of the company's website). The 2016 winners were picked based on 144 criteria. The awards, which are allocated by a Scientific Committee* composed of Paris-based financial market associations, are designed to enable issuers to measure their year-on-year performance in terms of transparency and identify best practices.

'A year after being honored with the Grand Prix for Registration Documents, we are very proud to receive this award in recognition of our Group's continuous improvement process. For years, the principles of rigor, relevance, transparency and ease of access to information about Valeo have guided our approach to communicating with investors, individual shareholders and analysts. This award highlights our determination as a Group to apply best market practices with the aim of building a trust based relationship with our investors over the long term,' said Jacques Aschenbroich, Valeo's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer.
