Accelerate towards a sustainable future
The need for change:
Our commitment
At FLEX/design, we recognize the responsibility that comes with being designers. We’ve made the conscious decision to place sustainability at the core of our business, believing it is our role to accelerate the transition to a sustainable future. With humility and a focus on steady progress, we commit to taking steps that contribute to meaningful change.
We combine holistic thinking with conceptual creativity to tackle complex challenges in new ways. By quickly turning ideas into prototypes, we bring people together, align stakeholders, and move projects forward faster. This approach ensures sustainability is not just a goal, but something we can act on and measure—creating real, lasting impact through solutions that are both commercially successful and sustainable.
Our 2030 goal
Role of design
Up to 80% of a product’s environmental impact is determined during the design phase. This makes design a critical leverage point for driving sustainability. Products and packaging are deeply embedded in our economic systems, cultures, habits, and behaviors. To transition to a more sustainable system, we must redesign these elements from the ground up.
Designing for sustainability requires more than just reducing negative impacts; it demands creating solutions that balance environmental considerations with functionality, cost, and user experience. This delicate balance is essential for achieving lasting success and driving positive change.
Integration of sustainability development goals into our work
Traditional ways of producing and consuming are no longer viable if we want to ensure a future where both the planet and humanity can thrive. Within the work we do with clients we explicitly aim to help advance four UN SDG’s.
