2025 ARA Awards Results

The 2025 Australasian Reporting Awards celebrates 75 years of encouraging and recognising excellence in annual reporting.

Congratulations to

Guardians of New Zealand Superannuation

2025 Report of the Year

“This the fourth time the Guardians have won the ARA Report of the Year award over the past five years. Clearly, they continue to work hard to maintain their very high standard. The report is clearly purposely designed to engage readers and effectively communicate the organisation’s messages. It ticks all the boxes in terms of the elements the ARA Coordinators like to see in an annual report and fully satisfies all aspects of the ARA criteria. The simplicity of the reporting on financial aspects makes it customer centric and easy to understand, instead of a boring response to legislative requirements. Well-designed graphic elements make a major contribution to engaging and informing the reader.”
