NFON is a leading European provider of integrated business communications with a strong focus on AI-powered applications. As a publicly listed company, NFON places great importance on communicating regularly through annual reports and quarterly updates – professionally, transparently, and reliably. The 2024 Annual Report and the accompanying Sustainability Statement were created using the reporting platform ns.publish by mms solutions, in collaboration with Sparks, a certified mms partner that provides NFON with comprehensive support both on the agency and technical side.
The focus was on delivering high content and design quality, along with the efficient creation of PDF reports that align with NFON’s corporate design guidelines while remaining consistent and well-structured.

Interview with Friederike Thyssen Vice President Investor Relations & Sustainability, NFON
What did you focus on most when implementing your reports?
“A professional appearance and efficient creation process are essential for us. The ability to automatically integrate and reuse content saves an enormous amount of time while ensuring our reports remain consistent and of high quality. At the same time, we didn’t want to compromise on design quality – the reports need to impress both on screen and in print, and clearly convey the key messages.”
How was your experience working with mms solutions, and how does the platform support your reporting process?
“With mms solutions’ platform, we’ve taken our corporate reporting to a new level. We particularly value the platform’s clear structure and automation capabilities, the system’s ease of use, the efficient content reuse, and the high quality of the PDF output. There are no limitations in design, and the WYSIWYG preview ensures we always see the final result. This – combined with the collaborative workflow – not only provides a consistently professional appearance but also significantly increases efficiency from first draft to final report.”
This was your first ESRS-compliant report. How did the mms platform support you in this process and in meeting compliance requirements?
“Sustainability is not just about compliance for us – it has been an integral part of our reporting for years. With our annual Sustainability Statement and the clear visibility of ESG topics on our website, we demonstrate our commitment. At the same time, the ns.publish platform offers us simple and secure processes to implement ESRS requirements flexibly and in a compliant way – both in terms of content and processes. With ns.publish, we benefit from clear user permissions, full control over transparent change logs, and approval workflows – giving us confidence internally and in external audits.”
