A dense three-column glossary defining key sustainability and supply-chain terms under a single serif-italic heading.

Summary

A glossary page: dozens of sustainability, GHG, and supply-chain terms defined as bold-lead entries flowing across three tightly packed text columns.

Visual description

White 16:9 page. A serif italic "Glossary" sits top left in muted violet, the only display element. Below, the whole page fills with three columns of very small dark-grey sans body copy. Each entry begins with its term in bold ("AM", "Ambassadors", "Centre for Social Impact", "Collective", "Higg FEM", "Lifecycle Assessment", "Scope 1 emissions", "Scope 2 emissions", "Scope 3 emissions", "Subcontractors", and so on) followed by a one-to-three sentence definition. Entries run alphabetically down and across the columns with even gutters. A thin all-caps running header "05 / IMPACT SUPPLEMENT / LULULEMON IMPACT REPORT 2022" sits at the top; slug footer bottom right. No rules, no images, just disciplined type.

Key takeaway

Carrying a high-volume glossary on type alone: a single serif-italic title, three even text columns, and bold term-leads doing all the wayfinding. The restraint (no rules, no shading) is what makes a wall of definitions feel calm and readable.

Reuse notes

A direct template for any glossary, definitions, or terminology appendix in a report or guideline. The bold-lead, three-column flow is the standard reference-page pattern and scales to many entries. Pair it before a contact or assurance closing page. Needs tight type sizing and generous gutters to stay legible.
