the opportunity

Sustainability has long been a core value of Simpson Housing.  As the Simpson Housing team worked to formalize their corporate responsibility and sustainability initiatives, they sought a partner to create a bespoke report that illustrated their portfolio of initiatives and results to stakeholders. The goal was to document their progress in one place and communicate their commitment to sustainability and corporate responsibility through a compelling, formalized report that weaved together narrative, data, and design.

our solution

Collaboration is at the heart of everything we do, and this project was no exception. We worked with the Simpson Housing team to align visually with their current brand and suggest the best pathway to communicate their impact. We then conducted interviews with executives from each department and several employees to capture the full impact of their initiatives. Utilizing thoughtful but eye-catching data visualization, we coalesced Simpson’s suite of sustainability initiatives into a cohesive narrative that showcases the stories that drive their impact.

Through a dynamic partnership, we were able to create a report that effectively captures and communicates their profound impact to their tenants, employees, investors, and stakeholders.
