This year’s annual report has adopted a new approach. This report focuses on annecto’s Social Impact. A key part of this report and annecto’s impactis featured through the Stories and Voices of people engaged with annecto.

Stories inspire us, enlighten us and give us new perspectives. We tell eachother stories to share a laugh, to persuade and to build relationships.Voices represent expression - something we all do - even without verbal speech. So silence is a part of our voices, our expression. Stories connect the voices of the past, present and future. The written word andthe spoken word are voices connecting us with different times, places and circumstances.Sharing our stories and our voices helps unify us as a people.
