We’re on a mission – and this is our approach

By using design for good, we help businesses and their people take climate action.

By making sustainability value-aligned with the core business model of our clients, various departments of your business benefit from working with us. With sustainability at the core, we help meet the goals of your HR department, sustainability officers, workspace managers, and even your marketing department. And motivate your team along the way.

We use the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals, a worldwide framework of business opportunities that benefits people, planet, and profits, as a basis for our work.

Together, with our team of experts, thinkers, and doers, we guide your team on this journey – from strategy to realization and beyond.

After an initial evaluation and workshop with you and your team, we divide the process into smaller packages to achieve your vision step by step. For us, every successful sustainability effort comes down to the following four steps.

Everything starts with a vision. A clearly defined goal or purpose helps us and your business select and prioritize challenges that align with your business strategy. Our purpose is to support you in your transition to becoming environmentally conscious and thus future-ready.

By working with the people that know your company best, your team, we evaluate your starting point and define a vision that motivates your team and your stakeholders. Instead of focusing on measuring and reducing your emissions only, we help you define inspiring goals.

We see design as a tool to solve problems. Bringing together various fields and disciplines – interior design, communication design, and product design – we’re able to design from scratch and redesign available resources.

We bring your vision to life by applying design principles that enable sustainable behavior in work environments as the result of smart and systemic design.

Our approach is to embed sustainability in team culture, business strategy, and operations by design. Which will also enhance the work of your “green” team. This has the potential to transform all aspects of your company’s core business, including its product and service offering, customer segments, supply chain management, choice and use of raw materials, transport and distribution networks, and product end-of-life.

We approach projects in a people-centered manner. By aligning all stakeholders, we make sure everybody in your company is effectively addressing sustainability issues and engages in your bigger vision. We curate trainings and create inspiring and motivating communication. We organize experiences that enhance your team’s experience and motivate them to succeed.

We approach organizational change as a holistic challenge. Whereas shared goals and common culture spark a movement among your employees, we also bring leaders to the table and coach them to strengthen their support and ownership of sustainability. We push your business to build effective sustainable development partnerships. While we take things step by step, we design systems to amplify your impact on a larger scale.

We want to talk about your sustainability efforts differently. For us, it’s not about a CSR report read by a few people. We design communication that engages people beyond your most critical investors. Effective reporting and communication is a powerful tool to stimulate internal changes and decision-making, too.

To create trust and support value creation, we use a variety of internal and external channels to communicate your sustainability strategy and performance to your employees, partners, and investors, as well as applicants, customers, and the public. We don’t greenwash or bluewash companies. We focus on human efforts and never miss a chance to tell a great story that inspires us all.
