Leap into the digital age
The way we communicate with our stakeholders is changing.
The ACCSR report Stakeholders as Readers of Sustainability Reports suggests stakeholders are becoming increasingly critical of sustainability reports and want shorter more succinct reports. So how do you keep them engaged for long enough to understand your message?
ACCSR and digibox are excited to introduce you to digital publishing - a concept to help you reinvigorate your sustainability reports and tell your organisation’s story in a new way.
Digital publishing allows you to weave existing data, print reports, videos and media into living documents that support print and web campaigns, delivering maximum value and cost efficiencies.
Whether you are a first time or experienced reporter; produce a standalone report, or contribute content to an annual report; you can transform the way your content is consumed.
The possibilities within digital publishing are endless – start small and incorporate one or two interactive pieces into your report or utilise the entire spectrum of visual storytelling and transform your organisation’s report. Meet all the principles of the GRI framework and provide your stakeholders with insight into your company’s sustainability strategy in a compelling way.
