Three-column imprint page: reporting period and scope at left, retroactively-adjusted-data notes in the centre, and a project-credits column at right.

Summary

The report's imprint and colophon: scope, reporting period and contact at left, a list of retroactively adjusted 2021 data in the centre, and a credits column (project lead, concept, layout, creative direction) at right.

Visual description

White ground, faint dotted grid, right-edge ruler, rotated "APPENDIX" tab; the six-tab header runs across the top with no tab highlighted. A large all-caps "IMPRINT" sits top-left. The page is set in three text columns. The left column ("ABOUT THIS REPORT") gives the reporting period and publication date in monospace, the contact email, the corporate scope (FREITAG lab. ag and subsidiaries by country) and a note on GRI reference and non-audit, with small "[GRI ...]" and arrow markers. The centre column lists arrow-bulleted retroactive data adjustments (employee figures, carbon emissions, energy consumption, operational waste) with appendix page cross-references. The right column is a credits stack: PROJECT LEAD & EDITORIAL, CONCEPT, LAYOUT, CREATIVE DIRECTION with named people and studios. The running footer carries the deck slug.

Key takeaway

Designing the imprint as a real three-column page rather than fine print: a big "IMPRINT" title, monospace dates and GRI tags, and a clean credits column give the colophon the same rigor as the data pages. Cross-referencing each retroactive adjustment back to its appendix page is a quietly trustworthy move.

Reuse notes

A reference for the colophon or imprint page of a serious report, where scope, methodology notes and credits must all sit on one page without looking like an afterthought. The three-column split (scope / adjustments / credits) is directly reusable. Keep the monospace data styling and dotted grid to match the rest of the document.
