About this webinar

Many companies and clients in need of architectural and interior design services have publicly and internally set ESG (Environmental Social Governance) and general sustainability goals. Goals may include achieving carbon neutrality by a certain year, receiving third party verified certifications, or a demonstrable increase in on-site biodiversity. The difficulty lies in translating high-level goals into a physical interior, building, and / or landscape. In this panel discussion, three practitioners who specialize in guiding clients and projects through the process of translating high level sustainability goals into completed projects will share their insights. You will come away with an understanding of potential challenges and opportunities, as well as resources for transforming your own design approach.
