Report on Combined Code on Corporate Governance

We have designed the recently published "Report on Compliance with the Combined Code on Corporate Governance by Irish Listed Companies", for the Irish Stock Exchange and the Irish Association of Investment Managers.

The ISE and IAIM commissioned an independent review of the level of compliance by Irish listed companies with the Combined Code. A Review Panel established by both organisations examined and commented on the findings of that review. This resulting report assesses those levels of compliance and provides observations and recommendations which may facilitate more meaningful disclosure of information in annual reports in the future.

This being quite a technical subject for a specific defined audience allowed us to craft a very refined design treatment for the report. Our aim was to define an appropriate typographic structure to best communicate the essence of this major report. It is a handsome, unique sized volume printed in two colours. Our understated publication design was enhanced with some special features and details in the print production, particularly front and back cover flaps and solid metallic ink interior covers. Our publication design was well-received with the relevant target audiences.

Update: Although this report was published two months before the introduction of our new brand identity system for the Irish Stock Exchange in May, we were able to preemptively incorporate many aspects of that system in this publication's design. It features one of the new ISE brand patterns on the cover and is typeset in their new corporate typeface.
