The 2022/2023 Annual Report was designed by the agency HGB, Hamburger Geschäftsberichte. HGB specializes in financial communications for companies. With more than 900 reports, many of which have won international awards, for more than 180 clients since the agency was founded almost 30 years ago, HGB is one of Germany’s leading agencies in the field of corporate reports.

The German Design Award is one of the most prestigious design awards worldwide and is highly regarded far beyond specialist circles. Since 2012, the jury has been identifying and awarding prizes to outstanding contributions in the fields of product and communication design and architecture every year. In a nomination process, expert committees of the German Design Council invite only those products and communication design services to participate in the competition that have demonstrably differentiated themselves through their design quality. All awards are determined in a multi-stage judging process and during a two-day jury session.
