Seemingly a really positive initative from a list of iconic design leaders and organisations, The Designers Accord is “a coalition of design and innovation firms focused on working together to create positive environmental and social impact.”

Partnered with the AIGA and IDSA, The Design Accord was founded by Valerie Casey and hosts an advisory panel including: Paul Hawken – Natural Capital Institute, Tim Brown – IDEO, Allan Chochinov – Core77, Jen van der Meer – o2NYC and Marc Alt – Marc Alt + Partners. The movement they explain ‘started as a call to arms for designers to engage in the environmental movement with optimism and creativity …It is our obligation to use our knowledge, experience, and reach to positively influence what we design and consume.’
