Here are some resources to help with leading a team, transforming an organisation, and influencing culture.

Getting started with these tools…

Actions

[ ] Start a community of practice around sustainable design or approaches in your organisation (or join one if freelancing)

Join efforts and thinking with other designers will help you think through how you may adapt your practice, identify opportunities for interventions through the work or projects you focus on, and also put pressure on your organisation to prioritise this.

[ ] Find out what skills your team needs to better understand sustainability and climate

Can you support your team members or employees (or yourself!) with training opportunities so they can develop new skills and knowledge outside of their own practice.

[ ] Build sustainability into your strategy

Sustainability is often viewed as an additional requirement or “another thing to do”. If we can forefront sustainability in our business from the beginning then it becomes part of the overall operation. How does that look for your, your business, or your clients?

[ ] Use the B-corp assessment to understand what your organisation can do

The B-corp assessment is a great way to understand how and organisation can be designed in a way that benefits people and the planet, and provides specific guidances on how to do so (e.g. how to implement an environmental policy for your suppliers, managing waste in your facilities). This also ensures that environmental sustainability is considered alongside your social impact and purpose.
