KIPCO Group companies

KIPCO is a long-standing regional champion of corporate governance and has developed a reputation in the global financial community for openness and transparency. For example, in 2005, KIPCO became the first publicly-listed investment company in the Middle East to host a regular meeting for all stakeholders. Since then, KIPCO's annual Shafafiyah (transparency) forum has become a focal point of the company's reporting year. As part of the meeting, stakeholders, financial analysts and media question the company on past and future performance. his regular two-way dialogue between KIPCO and our stakeholders is part of our corporate governance activity, which also includes regular briefings with international financial analysts, credit ratings agencies and news organizations. KIPCO also maintains current international accounting standards within all its financial reporting, internal audit and risk management processes. KIPCO believes that maintaining international levels of corporate governance is important for three reasons: first, these standards allow the company to access international capital markets as a 'tried and trusted' investment partner; second, good standards of corporate governance have allowed KIPCO to distinguish itself from most other listed companies within the region; and third, as one of Kuwait's leading companies, KIPCO is committed to the development of Kuwait as a regional investment hub. The establishment of international corporate governance standards within the country is an essential part of this objective. To view the latest Shafafiyah presentation, please click here.
