- Project Brief: Create an interactive sustainability report that communicates ESG performance, climate goals, and innovation through an engaging digital experience.
Most corporate landing pages exist to be filed, not read. Digital Silk built the IFF 2025 Sustainability Report landing page to be experienced first and downloaded second.
The scrollytelling structure drives the UX. Each section reveals itself as the user scrolls, so the report unfolds like a narrative rather than loads like a document.
The persistent top bar anchors every scroll position to a named section. That wayfinding decision is what stops a long-scroll report from losing people halfway down.
The data visualizations do the heaviest creative lifting. The radial supply chain wheel and bento-box stat layouts translate dense ESG figures into spatial relationships the eye processes faster than any table.
The CEO quote section places a Download Report CTA directly beneath the executive message, which is the right moment to ask. By the time a reader reaches that point, the report has already made its case, and the button feels like a natural next step rather than an interruption.
Color shifts across sections from deep greens to warm creams to olive, giving each chapter its own feel without breaking the visual system. Combined with macro nature photography shot at geological scale, the site earns its claim about IFF's relationship to the natural world rather than just stating it.
The DesignRush jury recognized the ambition behind the execution. Juror Murat Tekmen called it "a genuinely ambitious take on the corporate sustainability report," noting that "the interactive applications wheel, the phased biodiversity model, and the video-led storytelling turn dense ESG data into something you explore rather than just read."
Juror Orcun Iybar singled out the timeline feature: "What stands out most is the timeline feature tracking their sustainability reports back to 2010, it's a nice touch that most corporate reports skip." Meanwhile, Lucia Barbaresso landed on what makes it work for the everyday reader: "The site is very aesthetically pleasing and enjoyable to browse; the information is presented in a very interesting way without being boring. The ecological message is clearly conveyed."
