Project Description
We are looking for an experienced graphic designer or publication layout specialist to design the final version of a 110-page policy report titled Corporate Water Stewardship: Strategies and Practices in Asia-Pacific.
The report follows the style of formal research publications, combining academic rigour with a clean, professional, and accessible layout.

• Back matter: conclusion and appendices.
You may refer to this previous CGS publication for the overall mood, tone, and formatting style but with improved clarity, readability, and contrast:
