NMG's transformation required demonstrating progress on material ESG issues to investors. The company had begun to identify and improve its performance on these issues through strategic partnerships and investments, but needed help communicating those initiatives in a way that both aligned with the brand and reflected authentic ESG progress. This meant the ESG report had to both emulate the classic, luxurious look and feel signature to NMG, while also demonstrating progress on ESG goals by incorporating all relevant data, metrics, and frameworks.

The company’s first-ever ESG report brought together NMG's commitment to revolutionizing luxury alongside its commitment to sustainability leadership. Working closely with the NMG team, we employed visuals and narrative to roll out a strong execution of the corporate identity that reflected the high caliber of NMG products and practices across its portfolio of brands.

In developing this first report, we sought to partner with NMG to compile and analyze its ESG data with the same rigor and oversight it employs for its financials. We are both proud that the company’s first report aligns with external frameworks from the Sustainability Accounting Standards Board (SASB), the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI), and the Task Force on Climate-Related Financial Disclosures (TCFD) and provides investors with comparable and decision-useful information about the company’s ESG performance. It is our hope this will help investors share the Board’s confidence in the strength of this company and its future.

The key to our success was prioritizing partnership above all else. Our teams collaborated to co-create and execute the creative vision for the project, iterate multiple concepts, and ultimately empower each other to leverage the magic of partnership to bring it all to life.
