Sustainability report design for organisations that need complex ESG information communicated clearly.
From government departments and healthcare organisations to charities, universities and local authorities.
ESG reporting isn't just another design project. We specialise in complex reports and information-rich publications, combining editorial design, information hierarchy and data visualisation to make ESG information clear and credible.
Work directly with the designer responsible for your ESG report, from initial concept and visual direction through to final publication. No account managers, no handovers and no unnecessary layers between you and the work.
We don't simply format the information you're given. We consider hierarchy, sequencing, charts, tables, infographics and page structure so readers can find and understand the information that matters.
ESG reports can contain complex metrics, targets and performance data. We turn that information into clear charts, infographics and visual summaries that communicate the story behind the numbers.
Accessibility is considered from the beginning of the design process, helping ensure your ESG report is clear, usable and accessible across digital audiences rather than requiring accessibility to be retrofitted at the end.
Clear milestones, agreed deadlines and direct communication keep your ESG report on track from initial design through to final publication — including print-ready and digital deliverables.
A well-designed ESG report does more than meet reporting requirements. It demonstrates accountability, makes progress measurable, communicates environmental and social impact, and gives stakeholders confidence in how your organisation is performing and where it is heading.
Whether your audience includes investors, employees, customers, regulators, suppliers or the wider community, your report should make complex information clear, credible and easy to understand.
We understand what's involved
An annual report often involves dozens of contributors. Our role is to simplify that complexity. We create structured workflows, manage revisions efficiently and ensure everyone knows what happens next, so your annual report stays on schedule and your team stays in control.
Copy arriving from finance, services, governance and comms, rarely at the same time.
Wording changes right up to sign-off, each one rippling through the layout.
Audited figures landing late, then changing after the layout is built.
Sequential sign-off from executives, committees and the board.
A fixed publication date that will not move for anyone.
Accessibility considerations that need to be built into the report from the outset, rather than addressed at the end.
Press slots, proofs and delivery dates booked weeks in advance.
You brief once. We manage the schedule, versions and production.

We review your content, reporting requirements, brand and audience to understand what the report needs to communicate.
We establish the information hierarchy, page structure and visual system before the full report is designed.
We develop charts, infographics, tables and visual storytelling that make complex ESG information easier to understand.
We bring the complete report together through a consistent editorial system aligned with your brand.
Final files are checked and prepared for digital publication, accessibility and/or commercial print.
Accessibility
Accessibility is considered from the beginning of your ESG report — not added as an afterthought. Where accessibility is required, we incorporate accessible design and PDF requirements throughout the design and production process, helping ensure your ESG information is clear and usable for all audiences.
If your organisation has specific accessibility requirements, let us know at the briefing stage and we'll design the report accordingly.
“Pixelo worked with us to develop a refreshed look for the LSRA Annual Report 2025, as part of a wider approach to give our 2026 publications a consistent visual identity while reflecting the different purpose and focus of each report. Aengus worked closely with us to translate the brief into practice and was happy to refine and adapt the design throughout the process. We were very pleased with the final design, which was clean, modern and accessible and received positive feedback.”

ESG report design is the planning, structuring and visual design of a report covering environmental, social and governance performance. It brings together editorial layout, information hierarchy and ESG data visualisation so that targets, metrics and narrative content are easy to read and easy to trust — in print, as a digital publication and as an ESG PDF.
Every ESG report is quoted individually. The main factors are page count, how much of the content is charts, tables and infographics, whether accessibility and print production are required, and how many review rounds are expected. We agree a fixed fee in writing before design begins.
Most ESG reports take four to eight weeks from approved content to final delivery, depending on length and complexity. We work backwards from your publication date and set milestones for design, review, accessibility and print so the deadline holds.
We design reports whose content follows frameworks such as GRI and ESRS, and we're comfortable laying out disclosure indexes, metrics tables and framework references. We're report designers rather than ESG consultants or assurance providers, so the disclosures, data and framework decisions come from your organisation or your advisers, and we make them clear on the page.
Yes. ESG data visualisation is central to what we do. We design charts, infographics, dashboards and visual summaries using one consistent visual language, so emissions data, social metrics and governance information are interpreted the same way throughout the report.
Yes. ESG content is often published inside an annual report or as part of an integrated report, and we design both. We can also produce a standalone ESG report that shares a visual system with your main publication.
Yes. Where accessibility is required, we consider it from the start — clear hierarchy, readable typography, colour contrast, logical structure and content prepared to support accessible PDF production. Tell us your requirements at briefing stage so the design and production approach suits them.
Yes. We produce screen-first digital reports and interactive PDFs with linked contents, cross-references and clickable navigation, alongside print-ready files where a printed edition is needed.
In practice they overlap. Sustainability report design usually leads with environmental and social impact, while an ESG report gives governance equal weight and is often aimed at investors and regulators. The design considerations are similar: clear structure, credible data presentation and a readable narrative.
Your draft content, any data or tables, brand guidelines if you have them, an indicative page count and your publication date. Content doesn't need to be final — we can start from an agreed page plan and flow approved copy as it's signed off.
Most of our clients are Irish organisations, and we also work with organisations in the UK and Australia. Everything is handled remotely with direct contact with your ESG report designer throughout.
Yes. The report should look like your organisation, not like us. Where your guidelines don't cover reporting elements such as charts, tables and ESG infographics, we extend the system in a way that stays true to your identity.
You work directly with the designer producing your report, from concept through to final files — one point of contact for briefing, feedback and delivery.
