AIGA endorses the Designers Accord
AIGA has elected to endorse the Designers Accord, a nonprofit coalition of design and innovation firms focused on creating positive environmental and social impacts.
The Designers Accord asks designers worldwide to engage every client in a dialogue about environmental considerations and to evaluate sustainable alternatives in design. Tens of thousands of members of the creative community are involved with the Designers Accord, a call to arms to engage proactively in the environmental movement with optimism and creativity. Adopters include BMW Group Designworks USA, Celery Design Collaborative, Continuum, frog design, IDEO, Marc Alt + Partners, Ph.d, Smart Design, Tricycle, Willoughby Design Group and hundreds of other firms. As of this posting, the DA counts over 5,000 adopters, from two-dozen countries, representing every design discipline.
Through the promotion of openly sharing knowledge, this coalition commits designers to exchanging their methods and experiences. A web platform built to facilitate this exchange is slated for launch in the summer of 2008. AIGA's endorsement reflects a continued commitment to inspiring sustainable business practices in the design profession that imparts the value of sustainable design at every level.
