THE CHALLENGE
In recent years the company has improved the quality of its annual reporting. As its performance as a company gained widespread recognition, the time came for its corporate website to start making a similarly positive impression.
Antofagasta manages the vast majority of its sustainability and recruitment initiatives in Chile through a local Spanish language website. Approximately 65% of Antofagasta’s shares are owned by interests based in Chile, but the primary audience of antofagasta.co.uk is London-based investors and journalists.
How do you engage and inform a professional audience that demands clarity, accessibility and ease of use?
We were also challenged to develop the Antofagasta corporate brand and establish a set of guidelines that would allow them to deliver a consistent online identity across their digital properties in Chile. Our bespoke, fully responsive design provides a future-proof solution to the rapid proliferation of mobile devices.
In addition, we conducted a capability review to understand Antofagasta’s internal skills and workflow requirements. Rather than becoming another burdensome technology platform, our intuitive digital platform would provide a service to the investor relations team.
Our new website has received terrific feedback both internally and externally from various stakeholders, with users embracing the new design and digital identity we have managed to create. The new website is a great step in harmonising our identity across various communication channels.
We are also particularly proud to be the first plc to embrace the Financial Reporting Council’s guidelines on integrated reporting on our digital platform. This will improve the transparency of our business and also reinforce the strategy and business model of the Group, whilst providing clear sight on our economic inputs and outputs.
