Reporting is being transformed by AI, ESEF and Reportl
Multiple reports which were created in Reportl software have received prestigious industry recognition for innovation, creative excellence and digital transformation. At Reportl, we are thrilled to have supported specialist reporting agency Friend Studio and their clients in their outstanding achievements at the Corporate & Financial Awards 2025 and the Digital Impact Awards 2025.
Best in show at the C&FA awards
We are especially proud that Oakley Capital Investments’ Annual Report 2024, created using Reportl, was named as the C&FA best in show ‘Annual Report of the Year’. This accolade for the best in show (out of all the category winning entries) is a milestone achievement for AI-readable online reporting.
These awards recognised not only the beautiful creative execution, but also the power of Reportl’s next-generation technology which is transforming how organisations design, build and publish annual and sustainability reports.
Double gold at the Digital Impact Awards
At the Digital Impact Awards, Airtel Africa also set a new industry benchmark among the FTSE100, winning gold for ‘Best Innovation’ and ‘Best Online Annual Report’ for its 2025 report. Created in Reportl, this is the first AI-friendly, digital-first reporting from a FTSE100 company – it is a game-changing example of AI-readable reporting.
Additional recognition also went to Oakley Capital Investments’ 2024 annual report for ‘Best Innovation’ and ‘Best Online Annual Report’.

Reportl's unique digital-first design functionality is key to producing online reports which enable AI tools to access, read and analyse the full content and data.
