We design for change
Our knowledge of strategy, technology, design, and branding is our greatest asset. We keep our eyes and ears open for projects in which we can use that knowledge to create a more sustainable future. We also look for opportunities to support our clients’ efforts to reach their own climate goals.
Checklist for sustainable design
We use this checklist throughout the design process to make sure we are on track and that our work contributes to our planet.
Why should this product exist? How does it benefit our users?
Product market fit: Is this the best solution? For users? For the planet?
Are we still tracking with our target UN Sustainable Development Goals?
Does our solution make a minimum climate footprint &/or positive climate impact?
Are we keeping the circularity of this solution/product in mind?
Can we use clean energy sources &/or sustainable server farms?
