CCIR Forum Reporting 2024


Exploring the future of reporting – beyond simply meeting regulatory requirements. What impact will rapid technological change and innovations in artificial intelligence have? How can companies create new momentum and even unlock new opportunities through committed sustainability reporting?

Save the date: 26. und 27. September at OpernTurm Frankfurt am Main

The CCIR Forum 2024 is a cooperation between the Institute for Corporate Communication and Identity (CCI) and Center for Corporate Reporting (CCR) and addresses topics related to “Design and Communication”, “Sustainability and Reporting” and “Trend Research and Innovation” – as usual, challenging, dialogic and on an equal footing.

The forum will focus on a crucial question: “What for?” It is an invitation to question established paradigms and develop visionary approaches to addressing the dynamic changes in corporate reporting. It is a call to (re)define our focus and look forward together.

Corporate communications professionals will exchange experiences with respected experts in discussion forums on the topics of “Design and Communication,” “Sustainability and Reporting,” and “Trend Research and Innovation” and develop concrete recommendations for action for the future – inspired by the findings from the best practices of the “Best Annual Reports” competition.

From the program:

Presentation of “The best annual and sustainability reports” Keynote Reto U. Schneider

Block 1 – Design and Communication

Effective and creative (sustainability) communication in times of increasing regulatory requirements

Kick-off with the keynote speech “Effective communication and design as catalysts for sustainable business”

with Tobias Kollmann

In a world where creative challenges and regulatory requirements like the CSRD are becoming increasingly prevalent, corporate communications faces the urgent task of bridging these two extremes. Will annual reports still be read by humans, or will algorithms soon take over this task?

What role do creativity and design play in a time when the volume of required reporting metrics is rapidly increasing? In this session, we explore how effective communication and innovative design can act as catalysts for sustainable business. You’ll learn how to maximize the potential of your sustainability reporting through clever framing and narrative strategies. Discover how companies can successfully engage and engage their stakeholders—especially younger generations—through transparent communication, compelling narratives, and a design that combines clarity with emotional impact.
