“Sustainability in this view is not just about the environment. It’s about improving health outcomes and general well-being, promoting economic growth, and enhancing the quality of life across this planet. The most impactful designs I’ve seen over the years have risen to the challenge of meeting both human need and an environmental imperative.” By Lisa Gralnek with iF Design for Fast Company https://lnkd.in/euk-y6A8

For Earth Day, we asked leaders across the Creative Industries what their biggest sustainability struggles are, and here is what they said… 🌎 Tracking your business’ ESG (Environmental Social Governance) is essential, but also making sure your entire supply chain aligns with your core business values is mission of its own. 🧠 Knowledge is power, but when there are many standards and tools to comply with there is a lot of learning needed. Especially for the Built Environment, where regulations are much more precise. ⚖️ With the term sustainability remaining vague, lacking clarity, there aren’t specific measurables for accountability. Our leaders suggested that getting certified, helps you get started with measuring and tracking, some great examples are Fitwel Certification System and B Lab. 💰 And of course, the most boundless and cross industry issues, is budget. Sustainable suppliers, resources, accreditation and tools all contribute to costs. Want to see what advice they gave in tackling these issues? Check out the video, link in the comments below. A special thanks to our guest speakers Venetia Flint from RESONATE INTERIORS LIMITED, Joanna Auburn from Trace, Jon Stinson from Ryder Architecture, Eleana Ennes from NUSA STUDIOS, Jonathan Harris from Chapman Taylor and Vicky Gardner from ZiaBia. #ESG #Sustainability #EarthDay #SustainableEvents #SustainableArchitecture #CreativeIndustries

Afternoon folks, Had the pleasure of putting together a submission for the true zero carbon challenge this year. 'Twas a super interesting process and seeing what other entrants put together really highlights what's possible when energy consultants and designers collaborate. Some interesting facts about my entry below: 197 Tonnes of embodied carbon is stored in the building materials. With a 10kW PV system, the solar exports pay back this carbon by 2044! So it's not just Net Zero in terms of running cost, but True Zero in terms of its overall carbon cost (to build). Other stuff: - NatHERS star rating - 7.2 - Whole of Home Rating - 130/100 - Only single glazed windows

In the competitive landscape of building materials, differentiation is key. But how? By highlighting your unique value propositions such as sustainability and innovative features. It's more than a product; it's a narrative about making a difference. Ready to elevate your brand's story?
