This is the post series, explaining Why would you use 365i? In the fifth part I’m explaining why is the 365i Contemporary ECO tool that saves on your and environmental costs.

If you are are a listener rather than a reader, use the audio post: Why use 365i? Because it is the contemporary ECO tool for your interactive annual report: Post series 5 (.mp3; 2,7 MB)

Why would you use 365i? Because it is the contemporary ECO tool for your interactive annual report.

Do you agree with an environmental approach that also saves money? Vizuarna’s 365i reduces paper use, saving both natural resources and money. You also save money on printing, and the systematic interactive design solution also saves you money over the long term, in your future annual reports.

What are your average annual report costs? If your budget is €40,000 a year, Vizuarna’s 365i can reduce them to €11,750 a year, saving you €113,000 over four years.

We say: “Think before you print and be green by keeping it on the screen.”

What exactly was meant by reducing the paper use by using the Vizuarna’s 365i? That you are not allowed to use paper when reading/browsing/analysing your interactive annual report? No. It means only that you are aware that printing your annual report in enormous number of copies and then not knowing why do you need all of them because maybe your corporation has only ten institutional shareholders? Or even if you have hundreds of thousands shareholders – the main point of the interactive annual report is exactly that: enable them to find and look after your annual report whenever and wherever they want. 365interactive design system for annual reports enables you exactly that. It allows users of your annual report to print the whole or part of the annual report.

With the use of Vizuarna’s 365i you enable the stakeholders of your company to find and look after your annual report whenever and wherever they want too. Thereby being ECO friendly and cost aware.

The next point I would like to explain: how is it possible to save the natural resources and money at the same time? Yes, I agree paper is completely reusable resource. But I had opportunity to see many times in the last two year companies where they really don’t know what they are doing with printed copies of their annual report. Some corporate communication managers even think that their financial departments need it to send it to the banks. But, believe me, bank analysts do not have offices big enough to keep all the annual reports balance sheets in hard copy that they must analyse on daily basis. The need excel files.

Other managers responsible for annual report honestly admit that their CEO demands that they have to print it. Because we are not the only bank that is printing it, they say. Look at other banks, they are printing it to, they say further. Yeah, well well even if that is true. If you would like to follow everybody else even in corporate practices that belong to the past this is not the way to satisfy your stakeholders. If you are aware that design is a problem solving discipline. Then you should be able to realize that by saving on natural resources and by implementing a design solutions for the whole strategic period you will be able to save up to the €113,000 over four years of your strategic period.
