Let’s chat about designing your next report.
At the end of the day, our audiences are busier than ever – it’s our job as designers to ensure your report is a page-turning object of interest that readers will peruse to the end. Great report design meets the needs of its readers. Our report design solution focuses on consistent branding, engaging imagery, visual narrative and hierarchy, infographics and visualisations, interactive features (for digital), and professional creative concept design to provide impactful report designs with personality and life.
Less is usually more, and readers’ fatigue is real – we will work with you to condense and structure your report content into a digestible and engaging document.
We have considerable experience designing sustainability and impact reports, as well as ESG and annual reports.
Our approach to brochure design is holistic and human-centric – we follow a similar process to our award winning report and publication design. We consider every element, from typography, brand assets, content layout, and colour schemes to infographics and photography, and the various fold formats—such as tri-fold, bi-fold, or single-fold – to ensure visual appeal.
Whether you need brochures for a new product launch, a company profile for a special event, or general marketing purposes, we have the expertise to deliver informative, persuasive, and professional brochure designs that meet your needs and exceed your expectations.
We live in a world defined by first impressions, which means your catalogue is the heartbeat of your product offering. Crafted by our six-strong team of seasoned graphic designers, each catalogue becomes a window into the essence of your offering, inviting audiences to step into the world you curate.
From striking cover designs to engaging layouts, we ensure every page tells a compelling story, driving better engagement and elevating product awareness.

ESG report design is the process of creating a structured, visually compelling document that communicates an organisation’s Environmental, Social, and Governance performance and commitments. A well-designed ESG report builds stakeholder trust, supports compliance, and demonstrates accountability.
An annual report typically covers financial performance and business highlights for the year. A sustainability report focuses specifically on environmental, social, and governance (ESG) performance, including carbon emissions, social impact, and governance practices. Many organisations now produce integrated reports that combine both.
A typical sustainability or ESG report design project takes 4–8 weeks, depending on scope, content complexity, and the number of revision rounds. The Ethical Agency manages the full design process, including layout, data visualisation, infographics, and digital publication.
