Positioning a global firm as a sustainability leader through GRI-aligned reporting

We helped Egon Zehnder, a top global leadership advisory firm, deliver both its inaugural and second annual Impact Report — this time produced in full accordance with GRI Standards. The publication combined rigorous compliance with compelling storytelling, making complex data accessible and reinforcing the firm’s commitment to sustainable business.  

Following the success of its inaugural report, Egon Zehnder set out to build on this foundation with an even more ambitious publication. The goal was to achieve full GRI alignment across disclosures, while also ensuring the report clearly communicated progress and impact to diverse audiences — from clients and regulators to employees and the wider public. The challenge lies in integrating extensive datasets, narratives and visuals into a single, coherent story.

We partnered with Egon Zehnder to deliver a report that combined compliance, clarity and creativity:

• Ensured full accordance with GRI Standards across disclosures and content. 
• Designed a comprehensive GRI Content Index to guide stakeholders. 
• Transformed complex data into visually engaging infographics, charts and frameworks. 
• Crafted a clear editorial narrative linking performance data with values and strategy. 
• Applied bold design and photography to make the report professional, accessible and human.
