Responsible business reporting
Charles Russell Speechlys is a London law firm. I designed its responsible business reporting: a series of interactive reports and the illustration style that ties them together.
The brief
Charles Russell Speechlys wanted its responsible business reporting to be read, not just filed. It started with the Responsible Business Report, which had to carry a lot of content: sections, case studies, figures and stories. It also needed to work as a format the firm could use again for other reports.
The work
I designed the report as an interactive PDF, with colour-coded section tabs, simple navigation and a clear grid for the pages. That became a reporting style I then applied to a series: Doing Business Responsibly (Food & Beverage, and Retail and Consumer Brands) and The Score, the Annual Integrity Review. Alongside it I drew a line illustration style to turn the firm’s figures into something people would stop and look at. The same illustrations run through every report, so the series reads as one.
The result
What began as a single report became the firm’s reporting style, with one system running across the series. The illustration style is still in use today.
