Today is Tuesday
The Designers Accord is a coalition of design and innovation firms focused on working together to create positive environmental and social impact.
This movement started as a call to arms for designers to engage in the environmental
movement with optimism and creativity. We believe it is our obligation to
use our knowledge, experience, and reach to positively influence what we design
and consume.
The Designers Accord calls for the following:
We ask all designers, globally, to proactively engage in a dialogue about environmental impact with each and every client, and to evaluate sustainable alternatives in design. Our rationale is that by collectively committing to having this conversation, our client base - the world's manufacturers, distributors, and services providers - will be compelled to evaluate sustainability as a key vector in decision-making around the products and service they create for their base - the global consuming audience.
We promote openly sharing knowledge about green design and sustainability.
We believe that building environmental intelligence should be a collective
exercise. For this cause, we advocate for inverting the traditional model
of competition, and encourage pooling knowledge so that all may benefit and
build on marketable and sustainable solutions.
Adopting The Designers Accord provides access to a global community of peers
who share passion and ideas around environmental innovation. Our reach and
influence grows exponentially when we act together. View
