For Design Communication this has been an introduction for what really can be done and to take care of the important message Christian Azar left behind after the event. There’s a lot that can be done, it is just a question of doing it. Design Communication has been working with environmental questions and processes for a long time, being ISO 14000-certafied (environmental standard) since 1998.

But there’s still a lot more that really can be done. An environmental group has now been created with the main purpose to formulate Design Communications environmental plan, and then make sure that we live up to it. The environmental group have representatives from all the companies.
