FAQ
The time required to design an annual report depends on the complexity, length, and approval process. On average, a well-designed annual report takes between 3 to 6 weeks from initial brief to final delivery. Factors such as content readiness, number of stakeholders involved, print or digital format, and number of design rounds can impact the timeline. Starting early and having a clear schedule helps ensure smooth delivery—especially for regulated or high-profile publications.
The ideal length of an annual or sustainability report varies based on content and audience. A typical annual report might range from 20 to 80 pages, while more concise versions (especially digital-first ones) can be 12–24 pages. The key is clarity and purpose: include only what’s relevant and insightful. Financials, achievements, leadership commentary, and future outlooks should be balanced with visuals and infographics to enhance readability, regardless of length.
No, annual reports don’t have to be printed. Many organisations now opt for digital-first formats—interactive PDFs, microsites, or flipbooks—for accessibility and sustainability. However, print remains valuable for certain audiences like investors or stakeholders who prefer tangible documents. Often, a hybrid approach is used: a core printed version for key stakeholders and a digital edition for wider distribution. Design considerations will vary depending on the medium, so it's best to plan accordingly.
The cost of annual report design in the UK can range from £1,500 to over £10,000, depending on scope, length, format (print or digital), and level of creative input. Costs typically cover concept development, layout design, infographics, image sourcing, editing, and production coordination. More complex reports—especially those requiring bespoke illustrations, data visualisation, or interactive online formats—may increase the budget. Clear briefs and early planning help keep costs efficient and predictable.
A typical sustainability report includes an introduction or CEO statement, an overview of the organisation, a materiality assessment, ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) performance highlights, data metrics, and sustainability goals or targets. It may also align with frameworks like GRI, TCFD, or SDGs. A good report balances narrative with data, often supported by case studies and infographics. The structure should reflect the organisation’s values, sector, and audience expectations.
