SONAE REPORT HONOURED AT PRÉMIOS DESIGN M&P

Sonae's "2012's Report & Accounts" was honoured in two sub- categories of the Prémios Design M&P. From the 329 applications, Sonae was awarded in the sub-categories "Report and Accounts/Brochures" and "Covers (Books, CD/DVD/Vinyl)", catching the jury's attention with the document's quality and attractiveness, as well as for its cover design.
