AFL: Establishing a culture which drives focus on social & environmental impact is a Corporate Responsibility.
This report was designed with circles symbolizing the wires encircling the barrels as seen in a factory setting. The circles are also a visual representation of AFL’s products, a reference to the “connection” that AFL’s products enable, and a callback to the cover page for last year’s report.
This approach introduces texture, evoking a tangible sense of physical sustainability. It bridges the gap between abstract data and real-world applications, illustrating how materials and energy are conserved or reused. The design effectively translates the raw data from the Excel sheets into a more relatable and concrete context, emphasizing the practical impact of sustainability efforts. By incorporating these elements, the direction not only enhances visual interest but also reinforces the narrative of resourcefulness and environmental responsibility.
