On 21 March 2018, Izabela Walczewska-Schneyder, CFO and member of the management board at Benefit Systems, received the ‘Byki i Niedźwiedzie’ (Bulls and Bears) award for the best company with mWIG40. Justifying their choice, the editorial staff of the 'Parkiet' Stock Exchange and Investors' Newspaper underlined that the award was granted for the company’s excellent results and effective development of its flagship product – “For a long time, Benefit Systems has maintained surprisingly good results in the sale of cards, and its ambitions extend far beyond Poland” – as mentioned in the introduction.
The award, which has already been granted 24 times, is a unique distinction for companies and personalities of the capital market. We are very proud of the award, but – first of all – we would like to thank our Clients, Partners and Users of the MultiSport cards, who contribute to the improvement of our product, said Izabela Walczewska-Schneyder during the award ceremony.
In the justification of their choice, the competition jury included the following information: “The MultiSport card can already be found in the wallets and purses of nearly 900,000 Poles and over 130,000 people abroad. The company’s management board estimates that the Polish market still has a lot of potential for development, although the growth rates will be higher on foreign markets for obvious reasons. The company’s dynamic growth translates into increasing quotations – in fact, the company’s share price has been on an upward trend since its debut on the Warsaw Stock Exchange in 2011, and last year alone the price of the company’s securities increased by nearly 70 percent.” (For more information about the award winners, please visit: www.parkiet.com/Byki-i-Niedzwiedzie/303219916-Kategoria-spolka-roku-z-indeksu-mWIG40.html).
