Sustainability reporting can be a long, intensive, and an arduous process. As a branding and communications agency with more than ten years of experience helping Fortune 500 companies create and disseminate sustainability reporting materials, we are especially attuned to the immensity of the undertaking. Through our extensive work as a strategic communications partner, we’ve developed tools that lead to a more effective and efficient reporting process.
One such tool is our Sustainability Reporting Project Handbook that consists of guidelines, reference materials, and supporting documentation to serve as a general guide to the strategy, design, and development of sustainability reporting materials. While we create customized and exhaustive versions of the Handbook for our clients, we recently released a comprehensive version that can help any sustainability team in their reporting endeavors.
“Southwest is using the Handbook again this year. What has become a critical tool for success, the Handbook provides greater clarity about project team roles and responsibilities and promotes efficiencies in process management. It has helped us reduce the number of persons and hours required to produce our report, and thus reduce our overall costs, all the while improving quality and impact!”
