Shorter annual reports

A lot of us are writing content for the annual report at the moment.  I saw some statistics recently saying on average, annual reports are growing by 6,000 words every year and in the FTSE 100, it’s not unusual to see 150,000 words in total.  We all know that every year, there are new requirements but is anyone actively trying to write less and be more succinct and focused?  If so, are there any tips you can share about how you’ve done this?
