  2026 Report of the Year Winners

JOINT REPORTS OF THE YEAR

In the review of finalists for the Report of the Year two exceptional reports rose to the top. Each demonstrated outstanding clarity, transparency and impact, and each set a benchmark for high quality reporting. When it came to determining a single winner Awards Committee members were firmly split equally between the two reports. It was decided to accept both as Joint Winners of the Report of the Year.
