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.

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.

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.
