Frequently asked questions

Ocom Reporting is the O’communication brand dedicated to annual, integrated and CSR reports. The teams, contacts and legal notices are those of O’communication.

The agency produces annual reports, activity reports, financial reports, integrated reports, CSR reports, sustainability reports and impact reports, as well as their digital versions.

Yes. Foundations, public bodies and federations account for a significant share of the reports the agency has designed since 2004.

The annual report covers activity, financial results and governance. The activity report concentrates on the year’s actions and highlights. It does not always include a financial section.

Allow three to four months from scoping to publication. The schedule depends mostly on when the accounts are approved and on the number of contributors.

In the corpus studied by the agency, the median narrative report went from 47 pages in 2004–2009 to 36.5 pages in 2022–2024. The right length remains the one that serves the message.

An integrated report explains how an organisation creates value over time. It links strategy, business model, governance and financial and non-financial performance in a single narrative.

No. The sustainability report follows precise standards and a legal obligation for the companies concerned. The integrated report takes up its essential elements in a concise, readable format.

Since the Omnibus I directive, the obligation applies to companies with more than 1,000 employees and more than €450 million in net turnover. Your chartered accountant or statutory auditor can confirm your situation.

Nothing requires it. A voluntary report nevertheless answers requests from customers, banks, investors and candidates. The VSME standard provides a recognised framework.

The sustainability report is the regulatory document defined by the CSRD and the ESRS standards. “CSR report” is a broader term that also covers voluntary reports.

The PDF remains useful for archiving and printing. An HTML web edition is better indexed, easier to read on mobile and more often picked up by search engines and AI assistants.

An accessible PDF is tagged so that assistive technologies can read it. It has a heading structure, a reading order and text alternatives for images.

It presents the mission, the projects supported, the resources and how they were used, governance and outlook. Key figures and beneficiary testimonials make the work concrete.

Yes. The agency regularly responds to public contracts for editorial consulting, graphic design and report production.

It has moved from a review of activity to a strategy and sustainability document. Stakeholders, materiality, purpose and value creation have all become common.
