WOD (Women in Office Design) & SDC (Sustainable Design Collective)

The Sustainable Design Collective (SDC) is a ‘think tank’ group committed to acting as a collective within the workplace design community to identify developments and ‘best practices’ relating to sustainability.

SDC is a community of 30+ top A & D companies that come together to identify challenges and solutions that support our drive towards more sustainable built environments.

The Collective’s mission is to connect, inspire and engage. It is recognized that the quest for greater environmental responsibility and sustainability is a huge challenge. Collaboration is essential to accelerate the pace of change.

Sustainability is ultimately about balancing three key factors – the environment; society; and the economy. Each themed topic is addressed through the lens of three distinct aspects: Products, Places, and People. There is so much ‘greenwash’. Some companies seek to hide behind marketing words – we must ‘call this out’ and highlight the importance of environmental responsibility.
