We think so. With the right strategy.
Many teams we work with, both large and small, have questions around sustainability the product they want to develop.
- How do we measure the carbon footprint of the entire process from concept to end of life?
- Can we reduce our carbon output, without compromising our business goals?
- How do we educate internally and change cultures to accelerate progress towards improving our sustainability KPIs?
If you don't know the answers, there's help at hand.
As a business owner or a product designer/engineer, there's no shame admitting you do not know the answers to these questions right now.
Where it would be remiss, is if you did not try to find out the answers, or work with the findings to bring about change.
The Imagination Factory provides expertise in industrial design, consumer experience and engineering insights. So we often speak with businesses about their sustainability strategy and have found many struggling to find the right support.
So, the next logical step in our strategy is to partner with the people that can answer those bigger questions about carbon footprint across a product's lifecycle.
