Following a competitive pitch, leading Australasian beverage and food company Lion (formerly Lion Nathan) has appointed Businesswriters & Design (BW&D) to produce the company’s 2010/2011 sustainability report. BW&D will both edit and design this year’s report, providing Lion with a seamless ‘one-stop-shop’ report production offering.

In addition to producing Lion’s sustainability report, BW&D will also work with Lion to develop a suite of communications materials, including a series of enewsletters, to support and promote Lion’s sustainability commitment throughout the lifespan of the report.

Commenting on BW&D’s appointment, Lion’s Group Sustainability Leader, Anika McManus, said, “Lion takes very seriously its commitment both to building long-term, sustainable growth as well as playing a positive role in the communities in which we operate. We are proud of our culture of environmental and social sustainability, and we look forward to working with BW&D to help us to effectively communicate a clear and balanced report on our performance to all our stakeholders.”

BW&D Managing Director Derryn Heilbuth said: “Having worked with Lion in previous years on writing the company’s sustainability report, our appointment this year to include also the report’s design and support communications is a wonderful extension of the truly collaborative relationship we already enjoy with Lion.”

Doing the right thing for the long term is the banner under which Lion communicates its sustainability strategy, while the company’s core purpose is growing sociability and wellbeing in our world.
