Kingspan Insulated Panels 2006 Sustainability Report
The challenge
Our challenge was to design a report that would appeal to a wide range of audiences within the construction industry, including architects, developers and suppliers, along with Kingspan’s employees and investment community.
The report needed to reflect a company advancing technically as well as socially and environmentally. It was to be produced around Kingspan’s seven long-term sustainability objectives, whilst including company targets, KPIs and best practice case studies.
Within the brief, we had to make considerations for imagery, final size and finish of the report, and also how it could work in a web-based environment.
The solution
The final report was designed using a typographical play on the word 'sustainability' to emphasise, and simply communicate, the Kingspan commitment.
Integrated within the report was a separate booklet that enabled readers to gain an understanding of Kingspan's commitments and an overview of their work to date. The report was checked by the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) and achieved a Level C status.
This was our first ever Sustainability Report and has been recognised across the Kingspan Group and the construction industry as a superb piece of literature. We are now committed to issuing a Sustainability Report every year and on the back of the success of last years report have no hesitation in using B. sustainable again. They had a key role in the success of the document with their innovative and creative design style.
