In the backdrop of an environmentally-conscious global market, Gadge USA, a prominent packaging company, recognized the need to underscore its commitment to sustainability. The aim was to design a presentation that not only highlighted Gadge USA's green initiatives but also echoed the broader industry's move towards sustainable practices.

process
-
Started with an analysis of Gadge USA's previous sustainability presentation. Extracted and refined the pertinent information from this past material and then reimagined it, integrating the modernized aesthetic direction I've been driving for the brand.

Structure the presentation to provide a holistic view, starting with the company's sustainable foundations, evolving practices, and its forward-looking commitments.

Adapt the company's existing brand guidelines to incorporate colors symbolizing sustainability, ensuring the presentation retains Gadge USA's essence while also echoing environmental motifs. I accomplished this by keeping the font constant with the website’s styles and previous presentations.
-
Conduct multiple review sessions with stakeholders to refine the presentation, ensuring alignment with both brand goals and the intended message of sustainability.
The presentation successfully positioned Gadge USA as a committed advocate for sustainable practices within the packaging industry. While the foundational content was derived from a previous sustainability presentation, the emphasis of this task was placed on the visual aesthetic. Recognizing that the content is likely to evolve, the primary goal was to establish a contemporary design template that Gadge USA employees can seamlessly adapt and utilize for future iterations, ensuring both visual consistency and ease of content updates going forward.
