Tate & Lyle award-winning report | Conran Design Group

Tate & Lyle underwent big changes in 2024–2025. So, the global food and beverage solutions business needed an annual report to communicate its purpose and growth framework with a compelling story, engaging visuals and digestible information. We served up a report that achieved all this – and an award from The IR Society.

Challenge

2024–25 was a transformational year for Tate & Lyle: the acquisition of CP Kelco and the disposal of its remaining stake in the Primient sweeteners business marked a milestone for the global food and beverage supplier. And of course, big changes require a considered approach to comms. As well as explaining the group’s strategy and operations, the annual report needed to convey the significance of CP Kelco in amplifying Tate & Lyle’s ambition as it looks to accelerate its growth.

Solution

A strong narrative thread was vital. It needed to clearly relay Tate & Lyle’s business and products, while tying marketing opportunity, strategy, performance and purpose into one digestible package. It also needed to convey the importance of science and innovation in the group’s relationships with food manufacturers, as they collaborate to develop foods that meet the needs of consumers. The design of the report paces this story just right – balancing eye-catching visuals with dynamic information design and meeting the needs of both deep-divers and skim readers.

Impact

The result? A corporate story that communicates progress and is rooted in purpose. Our work for Tate & Lyle won Best Annual Report – Mid Cap at The IR Society Best Practice Awards 2025. The judge said, “Tate & Lyle’s report stood out above the rest”.
