Presenting complex sustainability data as a comprehensive & engaging ESG financial report
As one of Indonesia’s most forward-looking energy enterprises, TBS Energi is on a mission to drive the transition toward a sustainable, low-carbon future. The company focuses on sustainable waste management, renewable energy expansion, and electric vehicle ecosystems to cultivate a greener tomorrow. TBS publishes an annual Sustainability Report that presents a comprehensive overview of its commitment to sustainability goals throughout its business operations.
We designed and developed a cohesive and comprehensive bilingual document that effectively clarifies and consolidates complex business data from TBS's various operational sectors, enhances narrative consistency across the company's sustainability priorities, and maximizes the report's accessibility for a broad audience, including investors and regulators.
Working with sustainability consultants Senang Eco, we transformed raw written content and intricate operational data into a polished, professional sustainability report through strategic copywriting, editorial design, and data visualisation. We developed a cohesive visual system across the report and enhanced the clarity of lengthy tables and datasets by implementing a stronger information hierarchy, strategic color application, refined layouts, and compelling data storytelling — all working seamlessly across two languages of English and Bahasa Indonesia.
In order to efficiently and effectively address feedback from multiple stakeholders, we used Figma as a centralized design and review platform, which allowed both client and account team members to quickly deliver and respond to design and content critique in a timely manner.
A major challenge of the project is the incredibly tight timeline between acquiring operational data from the various business divisions and submitting the final report for regulatory review. As such, in order to maximize efficiency, we divided the production of the report into chapter-based phases that allowed design development and content approval to run simultaneously. Figma was used as a centralised approval platform, enabling all stakeholders to provide comments and feedback in one shared space and reducing fragmented communication and revision confusion.

TBS's 2025 Sustainability Report was successfully launched in April 2026, receiving widespread support and enthusiasm. By utilizing a phased production workflow and a centralized review process, the team maintained strong momentum despite a tight schedule, allowing the close collaboration between copywriters, designers, and account leads to thrive smoothly. The final result is an all-encompassing and visually unified bilingual report that beautifully presents TBS's various ESG goals, initiatives, and business operational data as an integrated sustainability narrative that is not only easy to navigate and comprehend, but also aspirational and inspirational for its many audiences.
