Their products help organizations transition to hybrid work models, enhancing productivity while reducing environmental impact.

The Ask

The 2019 Sustainability Report for Citrix centered on the theme "Flex With Purpose," highlighting the company’s commitment to integrating flexibility into its operations and culture. The design showcased how Citrix’s flexible work solutions promote energy efficiency and support diverse talent acquisition, in alignment with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

Flex with Purpose

For the 2019 report, a visual language was developed based on the Citrix brand, centered around the idea of flexibility. Whether in the grid system or the imagery, there was a consistent sense of malleability and change woven throughout the piece.
