Delivering an integrated report for a sophisticated reporter
SGS are a Swiss multinational company providing inspection, verification, testing and certification services. They are a sophisticated reporter, having embraced integrated reporting and a total impact methodology that quantifies their value to society.
Engaging the reader in an industry that can be difficult to understand
Working with the team at Radley Yeldar I designed their 2023 Integrated Report. The project brought three challenges. To engage the reader in an industry that can be difficult to understand, to communicate progress against a key strand of its strategy and to streamline by dropping a separate sustainability report.
To make SGS more accessible we described it through the eyes of its employees. Bold portraits conveyed their passion and expertise and reflected the diverse nature of the business. In addition, a Q&A approach for the CEO’s statement, carried a more personal style into the report.
This is a truly integrated report. In fact, it champions the format, and follows the principles outlined in the international integrated reporting framework, this year achieving a top three spot in the Swiss Rankings for Value Reporting.
