The Designers Accord

designers_accord.jpg

Founded by Valerie Casey, The Designers Accord is a new initiative to get designers to adopt a sustainability commitment. It is a coalition of design and innovation firms focused on working together to create positive environmental and social impact.

This initiative has been adopted by several firms world wide and keeps spreading. As opposed to just a word commitment, The Designers Accord will annually audit certain points in which the firms agree, in order to create positive impact.

I encourage all designers to adopt this philosophy, for moral and ethical reasons, more than just as a trend.
