Cascades 2007 Report on Sustainable Development
Paprika, Montreal, Quebec, 2008
Description
Cascades, a leader in paper transformation and recycling, publishes a yearly Report on Sustainable Development, announcing its environmental results. This very important document must be conceived in cohesion with Cascades’ philosophy and ethical concerns about the environment, and we had to use only Cascades’ papers.
As soon as we decided what paper to use, our concept was pretty clear. We wanted the document to be a good representation of Cascades’ environmental concerns, so we decided to create a hard cover with some cardboard that usually isn’t used for publication design. It closes with a sticker and can be sent directly, without an envelope.
This is the environmental equivalent of an annual report: it shows the progress, stats, and decisions that have been made from an ecological point of view. This document is distributed to investors, journalists, partners, employees and many others with ecological concerns.
Juror Notes
The inside is great: bold, with interesting typography. Nice visual texture that keeps you interested.
