You work directly with the designer
There are no unnecessary layers between you and the person designing your report. You communicate directly with the designer responsible for the work from briefing through to final publication.
Make Your Sustainability Report
Stand Out
Your sustainability story deserves more than a spreadsheet. We turn complex ESG data into beautifully designed reports that make an impact.
Trusted to design your most important organisational reports
From public sector organisations and universities to charities, professional organisations and other Irish institutions, Pixelo Design creates reports where clarity, accuracy and professional presentation matter.
Why organisations choose Pixelo for sustainability report design
We understand information-heavy reports
Sustainability reports can contain large amounts of narrative, data, tables and supporting information. Our approach is built around making complex content easier to navigate and understand.
We design around your brand
Your sustainability report should feel like it belongs to your organisation. We work with your existing brand guidelines while creating a visual system that gives sustainability information appropriate clarity and hierarchy.
We take data seriously
Charts, graphs and infographics aren't decoration. They need to communicate information accurately and clearly. We design data visualisations around the story the information needs to tell.
We understand demanding reporting projects
Reports often involve multiple reviewers, changing content and immovable publication deadlines. A structured workflow helps keep the design process organised as the project develops.
Accessibility can be considered from the beginning
Where accessibility is required, we can incorporate accessibility considerations into the design and document-production process rather than trying to address them after the report has already been designed.
Complex information, made clear
Beyond compliance
A sustainability report should do more than meet reporting requirements. It should clearly communicate your ESG performance, demonstrate progress and build stakeholder confidence. Pixelo Design turns complex sustainability data, targets and disclosures into clear, engaging reports that make your organisation’s impact easier to understand.
Whether your audience includes government departments, funding bodies, members, donors, investors or the wider community, your report should make complex information clear, engaging and easy to understand.
We understand what's involved
Complex Project. Simple Process.
A sustainability report can involve input from multiple teams, departments and contributors. Our role is to simplify that complexity. We organise content, manage revisions and keep the design process moving, so your sustainability report stays on schedule and your team stays in control.
Multiple contributors
ESG data, sustainability content and disclosures arriving from finance, HR, governance and communications teams at different times.
Constant revisions
Sustainability narratives, ESG metrics and disclosures can change throughout the design process, affecting layouts and page structure.
ESG data updates
Carbon emissions, energy use, workforce data and other sustainability metrics may be updated as figures are verified.
Board approvals
Sequential review and approval from sustainability teams, executives, committees and board members.
Tight deadlines
A fixed sustainability reporting or publication date means content, design, approvals and production need to stay on schedule.
Accessibility needs
Accessibility should be considered from the outset, helping ensure your sustainability report is easier for all audiences to access and understand.
Print deadlines
Print specifications, proofs and production schedules need to be coordinated alongside final sustainability report approvals.
One point of contact
You provide the content and feedback. We manage the design, revisions, versions and production process.

Sustainability report design is the process of turning an organisation's sustainability information, data, disclosures and narrative into a professionally structured publication. It combines editorial design, information hierarchy, data visualisation, typography and document production to make the report easier to understand and navigate.
The cost depends on factors such as page count, content complexity, data visualisation, revision requirements, accessibility requirements and the final publication format. The most accurate way to establish a price is to review the scope and available content.
The timeline depends on the size and complexity of the report, the state of the content and how quickly feedback can be provided. Once the scope and publication deadline are known, a project schedule can be established.
Yes. Your existing brand guidelines can provide the foundation for the report. The design can then introduce appropriate visual hierarchy, data visualisation and information-design elements while maintaining consistency with your organisation's identity.
Yes. Pixelo designs both sustainability reports and ESG reports, including publications containing environmental, social and governance information, performance data, targets and commitments.
Not necessarily. It helps to have a substantial amount of content available, but we can discuss projects where content is still being developed. Understanding the status of the content at the beginning helps establish the most practical workflow.
Accessibility requirements can be considered during the design and PDF production process. If your organisation needs to meet a particular accessibility standard or specification, discuss this at the beginning of the project so the requirements can be incorporated into the workflow.
Yes. Supplied data can be developed into charts, graphs, KPI displays, diagrams and infographics designed to communicate the information clearly.
Pixelo can design publications containing information prepared in accordance with sustainability reporting standards and frameworks. Your organisation or reporting adviser remains responsible for determining which requirements and disclosures apply to your report.
Yes. Reports can be prepared for digital publication, professional printing or both, depending on the requirements of the project.
Yes. A previous report can be used as a starting point. We can retain useful elements while improving hierarchy, navigation, data presentation, consistency and overall visual communication.
Useful information includes the approximate page count, draft content, previous report, brand guidelines, required outputs, publication deadline and any accessibility requirements. You can send whatever information you currently have and we can discuss the project from there.
Yes. Pixelo Design works with organisations across Ireland, including clients and projects in both the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland.
