What is an annual report?

An annual report is a document published every year that summarises a company's financial performance and business development. In addition to financial data, it often also contains information on the company strategy, sustainability efforts and important milestones. Today there are more and more digital annual reports, i.e. electronic versions of company reports that are available online. They offer an interactive and multimedia presentation of company information, financial data and business performance. Compared with traditional printed reports, digital annual reports offer several advantages. They are more accessible, as they can be accessed at any time and from anywhere. Multimedia integration allows the use of videos, animations and interactive graphics to present complex information in an easily understandable way. In addition, digital annual reports contribute to environmental friendliness by reducing paper consumption.
