As design leaders, the decisions you make ripple through industries. You influence behaviour, shape products, and impact our planet's future, and now more than ever it’s critical to use this transformative power to shape a sustainable future, through design. How do you incorporate this into how you run your business and the work you do?

We’ll be exploring the power and responsibility of design leaders today to create solutions that have a minimal impact on the natural environment and consider all elements of corporate sustainability in your business operations.

Jos Harrison, Global Head of Brand Experience and Design at Reckitt will lead the way, exploring how designers can create a positive impact; through their own businesses and through the services they provide to clients.

Oliver Pattenden, Global Research and Insight Director at Accenture SONG will share how designers can make this information actionable for their clients – by building a greater understanding of people’s motivational drivers to adopt more sustainable lifestyle behaviours.

Will Powell, Co-founder of Future Shift will share a case study with us, diving into how he halped clients embrace sustainability throughout their business.

Kerry Briggs, VP of Design and Development at Kinneir Dufort will talk about how they are challenging assumptions with clients to achieve bold sustainability ambitions.

Join the DBA in person this autumn as we get under the skin of the topics everyone is talking about. Each event will provide knowledge, discussion, and insight through a mix of informative talks from industry experts, interactive sessions, and member case studies. An important part of bringing our members and the design community together face-to-face will be the chance to network and share ideas with your peers in your local area. These events are open to all team members from DBA member businesses, so bring your colleagues along. If you're interested in getting a taste of what DBA membership has to offer, join us and your peers in your local area.
