Judges' comment
This report communicates important performance and financial results to members in multi-media formats.
This is a strong example of how a static document can be successfully adapted to an engaging, dynamic online version.
The report is an outstanding example of a smooth, effective transition between hard copy and online versions. The report successfully meets the challenges of successfully compiling large amounts of information in a clear, concise, complete, and personal manner. We were able to get the meaning on the first read. This is the sort of KiwiSaver annual report we’d all like to receive.
