Design for Planet

Empowering the Design Community
for a Sustainable Future

In an era where design impacts 80% of a product’s environmental footprint, every choice matters. Designing for Planet is about more than reducing waste – it’s about reimagining how we create, use, and regenerate.

It’s not easy being green.

Designing sustainably isn’t straightforward.

For many designers, moving from human-centred design, to design for people AND planet can feel like navigating a maze.

There is a lot to learn

We all have to start somewhere.

Design has the power to change the world, but designing for planet requires a whole new set of skills and awareness in order to make more informed decision choices.

Our Carbon Literacy Training for Design Teams demystifies climate change and sustainability challenges by explaining core concepts, highlighting the carbon impacts of your own design practice, and demonstrating how you and your teams can design for a better future.

Understanding Carbon Impact

Sustainability isn’t sustainable unless you bring everyone with you

Knowing where to begin with carbon footprinting can be tough. Many design choices across a products entire lifecycle, from design, to manufacture, logistics, use and disposal impact emissions in ways that aren’t always visible.

Our Carbon Analysts can help you to understand the impacts of design choices, equipping you with the knowledge to make more informed design choices.

Circular Economy & Eco-Design Workshops

Many design processes aren’t built with sustainability in mind, resulting in waste and resource inefficiency. Design teams need practical tools and frameworks to create products that respect planetary boundaries and support a circular economy.

Our Eco-Design and Circular Economy Workshops can help your design teams to understand how to design in a manner that aligns to planetary boundaries quickly.

Executive Edication & Strategy

Designers have an incredible superpower to be a force for good in the world. But good practice starts at home. We have supported hundreds of businesses to understand sustainability challenges and to create decarbonisation strategies that fit with broader organisational direction.

Our Executive Training and Decarbonisation Roadmapping can show how your teams are the designers everyone wants to know.
