Are you up to your ears with the annual report? Then get our help :) 

Creating an annual report can be a resource-intensive task, involving many employees over a long period. The annual report is a crucial tool for your company – not only as a formal document to publish financial results but also as an opportunity to showcase your story and strategy. 

When the new EU directive: Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) on sustainability reporting takes effect in this or the next financial year, it will be become even more relevant to report not only financial key figures, but also your performance in social and environmental factors (ESG). This especially applies for companies with more than 250 employees, who in the coming years will be obliged to include ESG information in their reports.

While reporting ESG data will become a legal requirement, it is at the same time an opportunity to enhance your reputation and present your company as a responsible player in the market. For many stakeholders, including investors, employees, and customers, it’s essential that the company takes responsibility for the climate and environment while also being a good workplace for its employees. A well-crafted annual report that includes ESG information can help generate positive attention and strengthen your market position.

When it comes to preparing annual reports, design plays an important role. An annual report is more than just numbers and text; it’s also a visual presentation of the company’s results and future vision. By using infographics, tables, charts, and images, complex data and processes can be made more understandable and engaging for your readers. A strong visual expression helps communicate facts and creates a coherent narrative that reflects your professionalism, foresight, and credibility as a company.

At BGRAPHIC, we have many years of experience designing and producing annual reports, financial reports, and CSR reports. We understand how important it is to present your company in an inspiring and professional manner to the world. Our approach to design is to create an annual report that meets legal requirements and serves as a powerful communication tool for your brand and visual identity. We offer expert consultation and ensure that the visual expression reflects your values and vision in an inspiring way.

An annual report is full of details, and this is where our meticulousness comes into play. We make sure that everything – from graphics to text and numbers – is accurate and of high quality. The details must work together seamlessly to create a precise and correct report that both reflects your work and meets the demands of authorities and stakeholders.

Annual reports belong in the category of top-tier quality for us.
