A long-time leader in sustainability reporting, Oshkosh worked with IOP to raise the bar on their report. IOP developed the reporting strategy, wrote the content including the theme “Powering innovation. Committed to sustainable growth.” and designed the full report. The report prioritized consistency to deliver on stakeholders’ expectations and make it easy for audiences to make year-over-year comparisons — effectively demonstrating that, even with acquisitions, the company at its core prioritizes sustainable growth.
Oshkosh is preparing for CSRD reporting. This year included Oshkosh adopting science-based targets and conducting an initial double materiality assessment. They continue to include detailed performance charts and an assurance statement. These steps better position the company to address the coming CSRD requirements.
The visual design reinforces Oshkosh’s sustainability journey at every step. The report features people-centered images to tell the stories of the team members and customers who are the everyday heroes that drive Oshkosh’s People First culture. Product innovation is also central, including design renderings and point of view shots that put the audience inside Oshkosh’s purpose-built vehicles and make the content come to life. Throughout the visual narrative, we use graphs, charts, callout stats, and other bite-sized data representations that emphasize year-over-year progress and make key data easy to find and accessible for all audiences.
Our seventh collaboration, the 2023 Sustainability Report illustrates how Oshkosh is powering innovation and its commitment to sustainable growth. IOP’s previous work for Oshkosh has been recognized League of American Communications Professionals and the American Graphic Design Awards.
