Our editorial standard

Every word, chart
and page should
earn its place.

A communication should make the business easier to understand. That principle guides the argument, the evidence and the design.

An annual report should make management accountable
  1. 01

    A clear governing idea.

    Establish what the audience needs to understand. Organise the document around that idea, with a deliberate sequence and a clear hierarchy.

  2. 02

    Evidence that supports the argument.

    Connect statements with operating facts, financial information and relevant context. Keep definitions, periods and figures consistent.

  3. 03

    Design that helps the reader.

    Use typography, charts, imagery and space to make information easier to follow. Carry the company’s identity consistently from the opening page to the last.
