A multinational specialising in materials technology, Umicore has more than 80 production sites spread across the five continents. To reflect this global dimension, the structure of the 2007 annual report was based on the group’s specific geographic character. Several reports on sites were made by teams of photographers sent by Concerto to all four corners of the globe (to countries such as Malaysia, South Africa, China, Brazil, Norway, Argentina and Canada, among others). The 150-page document, with a graphic design combining rigour and creativity, has been unanimously hailed by the press.
