Why online?

An online version of your company report can reach and engage with more stakeholders at a lower cost than hard copy and can help you to meet your legal requirements.

Increase interest

You can bring your report to life and create an interesting experience for the user by including

corporate videos;
interactive charts;
historical data.

Improve usability

You can:

Help your stakeholders find information quickly by using a search function.
Include print baskets, glossaries and send-to-a-friend functionality – allowing users to email specific pages to friends or to themselves for easy retrieval.
Offer Excel downloads to make it easy for analysts to import your financial data into their own systems.

Reach a wide readership

Online reports reach a wide audience, including journalists, job-seekers and industry analysts.
By producing an online report you can help minimise the difficulty of communicating with beneficial share-owners.
Publishing your report online provides all stakeholders with access to the same information in a timely manner, no matter where they are.
You can give all your stakeholders equal opportunity to view and interact with your online report by making it accessible.

Get your corporate message across

You can let your stakeholders choose how they view your annual report by publishing it in several formats.
Online reports allow you to enrich the way in which you convey your corporate message.
Producing an online report can reduce the need for printed copies. This is a way to move towards a ‘greener’ company policy.

Save money

How much you can save by switching from print to online reports depends on

how many shareholders you have;
your current spending;
which type of online report you choose.
