Case Study: Hydro achieves three consecutive Farmand Award-winning annual reports with XaitPorter (Xait)

Hydro Uses Xaitporter To Create Award-Winning Annual Reports

Hydro, a major Norwegian company, faced the complex challenge of producing its annual report with many stakeholders, large volumes of data, and a need for tight version control and collaborative workflows. To address this, Hydro used Xait’s collaborative reporting solution, XaitPorter, to give contributors real‑time access, visibility, and control over the document creation process.

Xait implemented XaitPorter to enable efficient, transparent teamwork and let Hydro focus on content and analysis. The measurable impact was clear: Hydro won the Farmand Award for best annual report in Norway three consecutive years (2007–2009)—the only company in the award’s history to do so—and juries praised the reports’ “phenomenal” depth and analytical quality.
