Shaping sustainability reporting

Once reports were purely functional, filled only with financial statements, logistical information and company facts, now they are creative documents used to convey clear sustainability messages and strengthen a brand’s position, have a positive impact on the environment and society and provide the potential for financial benefits for companies that prioritise sustainability and efficiency.

We’re an experienced sustainability report design agency

We are strategic partners who collaborate with clients to transform raw data into compelling sustainability reports. From an innovative initial concept to stunning final deliverables, we’ll help with copywriting, design, proofreading, online solutions, printing and promotion across all channels.

How we help brands with their sustainability report production

Visual Exploration and Graphic Design // Copywriting and Proofreading // Graph, Diagram and Infographic Creation // Photography and Image Sourcing // Videography // Microsite Development // Print Management

Whether printed, digital or a hybrid of both, together we create reports with impact.

 

Our team of copywriters and content editors work with your teams to tell your sustainability story in creative and compelling ways, crafting a narrative that takes the reader on a journey. Then our designers take your brand and develop it through your report pages, creating visual assets that represent your organisation, both as part of the report and as standalone assets.

 

For those needing a digital solution, our web developers can create bespoke pages to showcase your key messages in innovative ways. Finally, our marketing team will help you to promote your report through social media, email marketing and blog articles.

REPORTS

Our sustainability report design process

Discovery

We don't simply flow text into a predesigned template. By taking time to understand your messaging, we can identify key takeaways and segment your copy into digestible parts.

Design

We then explore your brand, providing a visual exploration that will establish visual themes and a visual language for graphs, diagrams and infographics.

Production

We’ll first create initial layouts for high-traffic pages to ensure agreement on the best way to visually display your information, before using these templates to roll out your final content into the rest of the report.

Iteration & delivery

Working with you, we'll implement your changes to perfectly convey your message, and supply your report in your chosen format, preparing files for print or adding interactive to digital documents, where required.

Champions in this sector

Hide Biotech

An advocate for a sustainable economy, Hide Biotech develops high-quality, sustainable biomaterials suitable for the fashion industry and provides a technology platform for creating collagen-based biomaterials for other industries. Utilising protein chemistry and bioengineering technologies, Hide is able to develop customisable collagen-based biomaterials for use in the textile sector. For example, by using collagen derived from fishing industry waste Hide creates a biomaterial with similar properties to leather. Using this process, water consumption, waste and greenhouse gas emissions are all reduced compared to those created during the production of real leather.

Colorifix

Colorifix is the first company to use a biological process to produce, deposit and fix pigments onto textiles, leading to huge reductions in water consumption and eliminating the use of harsh chemicals. By returning to nature, Colorifix can colour-match exact pigments to those already produced by living organisms, such as plants or insects. Through online DNA sequencing, they can then identify which specific genes produce that colour, translate the code into a microorganism and produce the pigment in the same way it is created in the natural world.

Frequently asked questions

How long does it take to create a sustainability report?

  • Typically 3-6 months, depending on the size of the organisation, the complexity of data collection, and whether it’s the first time reporting under GRI standards.

Can the report be digital instead of printed?

  • Yes, we specialise in creating interactive PDFs and microsites for sustainability reports.
  • Digital formats are more sustainable and allow for interactive storytelling, by using elements such as video and clickable charts.

Can a sustainability report also be used as a marketing tool?

  • Absolutely. By sharing your sustainability journey, you enhance your brand reputation and build trust with stakeholders.
  • We ensure the report is designed to resonate with investors, clients and employees, while maintaining compliance with GRI standards.

What is GRI, and why is it important?

  • GRI (Global Reporting Initiative) provides the most widely used standards for sustainability reporting.
  • It ensures transparency, comparability, and credibility, helping organisations communicate their environmental, social, and governance (ESG) impact effectively.

Do we need to follow GRI standards to create a sustainability report?

  • While not mandatory, following GRI standards is beneficial for companies aiming to showcase transparency and align with global best practices.
  • It also meets stakeholder expectations and regulatory requirements in many regions.

What’s the difference between GRI and other sustainability frameworks?

  • GRI: Focuses on the triple bottom line—environmental, social, and economic impact—with an emphasis on stakeholder inclusivity.
  • Others:
    • SASB (Sustainability Accounting Standards Board): Industry-specific standards for investors.
    • CDP: Focuses on carbon and environmental data.
    • TCFD (Task Force on Climate-Related Financial Disclosures): Emphasises climate-related risks.
  • GRI can complement these frameworks by providing a comprehensive narrative.
