Communication Principles
Effective shareholder communication should be clear, timely and easy to understand.
Clarity
Information should be presented in a straightforward and understandable way.
Consistency
Updates should occur regularly so stakeholders know where to find information.
Accessibility
Important information should be easy to locate and available when needed.
Transparency
Significant decisions and developments should be communicated appropriately.
Respect
Communication should recognise the diversity of shareholder interests and perspectives.
Continuity
Updates become part of the trust’s ongoing record and institutional memory.
Building Stronger Connections
Shareholder updates are not simply announcements.
They help maintain relationships between trustees, beneficiaries and the wider trust community, creating stronger awareness of trust activities and future opportunities.
