Interactive Sustainability Data Platform
Domain
UX/UI Design, Data Visualization
Timeline
2024-2025
My Role
UX/UI and Information Designer
Team
Sara Normanni & Odd Studio
Context
Sustainability communication is often reduced to long, static reports: hard to update, hard to navigate and easy to ignore. In 2025, the challenge is no longer collecting data—but turning complex sustainability efforts into clear, credible and engaging narratives.
This project transformed a large, fragmented sustainability database into a responsive, bilingual (EN/PT) interactive platform, designed to showcase how sustainability initiatives connect to real impact.
Problem
How can sustainability data move beyond static reporting and become a tool for trust, transparency and understanding—without losing depth or credibility?
Approach and Solution
We designed an interactive data platform that integrates, structures and narrates sustainability data through exploration rather than description.
1
Data Integration: Synthesized extensive, heterogeneous datasets affected by manual processes, conflicting sources and regulatory changes.
2
Information Design: Consolidated language, metrics and indicators into a coherent system, enabling consistent interpretation across initiatives.
3
Narrative Structure: Shifted from “reporting” to storytelling, framing data around strategy, impact and future vision.
4
Accessible Visual Identity: Adapted the client’s brand to high accessibility standards for data visualization, maintaining clarity across devices.
The platform is built around four interactive data visualizations, each answering a core sustainability question:
1
Strategic Pillars – Why?Shows how initiatives connect to business objectives, business units and sustainability themes through interactive filtering.
2
Themes & SDGs – Where?Maps initiatives to the UN 2030 Agenda SDGs, allowing exploration by theme, reach or global impact.
3
Timeline – When?Visualizes initiatives over time, linking start dates, future horizons and measurable indicators to support monitoring and progress tracking.
4
Stakeholders – Who?Reveals the ecosystem behind each initiative, connecting stakeholders, indicators and sustainability themes in one relational view.
Impact
1
Turned a fragmented database into a clear, exploratory sustainability narrative.
2
Made sustainability efforts comparable, traceable, and updateable in real time.
3
Increased transparency by linking initiatives to measurable indicators and global agendas.
4
Demonstrated how ESG data, when well-designed, can build trust rather than overwhelm.
Learnings
1
Sustainability data needs structure before it can tell a story.
2
Interaction helps users grasp complexity without oversimplification.
3
Accessibility is essential in data-heavy platforms to ensure credibility and inclusiveness.
4
UX/UI and data visualization can redefine sustainability communication.
