#1
Reporting agency

We are the leading reporting agency in Germany in the PR Report Ranking 2024.

34 FOX Finance Awards in 2024, including
several VISUALS special awards.

Henkel AG & Co. KGaA

RYZE 2024 implemented the sustainability report for long-standing client Henkel with SmartNotes for the first time and combined it with the "Henkel Highlights" in terms of content. The result was a standardised, modern reporting system that optimises processes and lays the foundation for future ESRS-compliant reporting.

CWS GmbH

For CWS Hygiene and CWS Workwear, RYZE developed a double sustainability report with a joint cover section that combines customer appeal and sustainability communication through storytelling. Supplemented by videos and a concise design, a compact, multimedia format with high visibility and credibility was created.

FOLBB Group

We conceived, designed and implemented the Sustainability Report 2023 from scratch for the FOLBB Group, realising the first report in accordance with the new ESRS standards (ESRS = European Sustainability Reporting Standards). The project was also a strategic trial run for future mandatory reporting.

RWE

In addition to the annual report, we have also been supporting RWE in sustainability communication since 2021. The revised report appears as an interactive landscape-format PDF with a modern layout and emphasises the ESG criteria even more clearly thanks to its new structure.

Our tools for strong communication

As a platform for disclosure management and ESG reporting, Workiva enables the structured collection, consolidation and analysis of sustainability data – including the integration of financial and ESG indicators. Automated workflows, centralised data storage and extensive collaboration functions allow ESRS, CSRD or GRI-compliant reports to be created efficiently. This makes sustainability reporting transparent, audit-proof and significantly more efficient.
