FMC publishes their annual Sustainability Report to inform key stakeholders of the company’s progress towards meeting sustainability goals and targets. As part of a larger, coordinated campaign, the website is launched in tandem with the digital report and video promotion.

In contrast to past years, the design of the website was completely overhauled to distill complex environmental metrics into 3 simpler concepts:
- Innovative solutions
- Responsible use of their products
- Positive impacts on the communities where FMC employees live and work
To accomplish this, a streamlined information architecture was implemented, with consistent typography, use of color, and presentation of content.
With it’s smaller page count and new design, the website was a great candidate to try WordPress’s block editor for a production website. I was pleased with the results and even created my first custom block to display the accordions. Using the scaffolding provided by create-guten-block, it was a straightforward implementation that outputs the content as HTML5 <details> and <summary> elements and includes a <details> polyfill for IE11 support. As of this writing, the current version of the block editor distributed with WordPress 5.2 is sorely lacking a container block for nesting child blocks. I used a plugin to provide that functionality, and I am happy to read that WordPress 5.3 will introduce the “Group” block to address this need.
