Have you ever wondered how sustainability, ethics, and aesthetics come together to create brand spaces that inspire change? Get a glimpse of my insights for our “beyond”-paper interview here:

I am thrilled to announce that my submission for the GreenVibE challenge was nominated this week! Thank you to Kesah Trowell for the nomination and for providing us with an engaging and insightful task where I learned a lot about the TAG Heuer brand and the importance of sustainability in our industry. I was given the opportunity to recommend a watch or jewellery item for a client passionate about sustainability and ethical sourcing. I showcased the benefits of the TAG Heuer Aquaracer Solargraph, a watch that not only embodies advanced technology but also champions sustainability and ethical sourcing. My submission highlights how the Solargraph is sustainable in several ways: • Solar-Powered Movement: The Solargraph uses solar energy to power its movement, reducing the need for battery replacements and minimising electronic waste. ☀️⌚️ • Anti-Dust Feature: The Solargraph includes an innovative anti-dust feature that allows the crown to be pulled out, putting the watch into power-saving mode and extending battery life. 🔋 • TAG Heuer is a brand committed to promoting sustainability, and they are proud sponsors of Formula E, further emphasising their dedication to a greener future. 🌱🏎️ Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) principles are vital for the future, even in the luxury retail industry, including watches and jewellery. Embracing ESG practices ensures that we are not only meeting the demands of today’s conscious consumers but also preserving our planet for future generations. Sustainable and ethical sourcing, reducing carbon footprints, and supporting eco-friendly innovations are essential steps towards a more responsible and sustainable industry. The Watches of Switzerland Group PLC has created the GreenVibE incentive for their employees to promote sustainability. This initiative underscores their commitment to ESG principles and drives positive change within the luxury retail sector. It’s inspiring to see initiatives like GreenVibE driving innovation in this space. Let’s continue to strive for a more sustainable and ethically responsible future! Lastly, a special shoutout and thanks to Sasha Hart for encouraging me to take part in the GreenVibE challenge. Your support and guidance was invaluable! #GreenVibE #Sustainability #EthicalSourcing #ESG #TagHeuer #Solargraph #Innovation #FormulaE #LuxuryRetail #FutureForward #EcoFriendly #SustainableLuxury #GreenInitiatives

Our LIGANOVA GROUP Management Board shares insights on cultivating a pioneering & meaningful mindset for the future of our industry. Get to know Torsten Dietz who is a true transformation driver. How can sustainability and ethics be integrated to create visually appealing and socially responsible brand spaces? #01 Design processes need to align with eco-design principles such as reducing, downsizing and simplifying. #02 Sustainable design relies on data: CO2 emissions, supply chain documentation, transportation and production. #03 In design, form always follows function. So: what and whom is the space intended for? What drives the audience, both in their everyday lives and to come to this space? How can we surprise and delight them with sustainability? How will they respond best to it? What’s the best way to convey the message? There are several brands who already do this really well: The Estée Lauder Companies Inc.' newly launched the “Responsible Store Design Program”; and the forerunner of sustainable design, Patagonia.

We’re still reflecting on the ReThink HK event - all the incredible insights from key industry leaders, particularly around fostering eco design for sustainable production and consumption! Here are some key takeaways that inspired us most: 🌍 The Coca-Cola Company: Prioritizing Eco-design Over Aesthetics We were intrigued by Coca-Cola’s approach to sustainability with their initiative to use label-less bottles made from 100% RPET, with resin codes on bottle caps. They’ve seemingly sacrificed some aesthetic design and marketing appeal in favour of eco-friendliness! 🍃 Did you know this about Decathlon ? They have been achieving 38% of sales from sustainable products – and they aim for a 10% reduction in CO2 emissions per new product. Their innovative approach to creating dye-free camping gear also stood out to us most! Their white tents not only minimize environmental impact but also tell a story with every mark—turning dirt into memories for their customers. How incredibly innovative is that? ✨ 💡 Fostering Eco Design It was fascinating to see how different companies interpret eco-design in their contexts. Here at Concept4 Group | Certified B Corp™, as we are working on defining our own approach to eco-design, and working on our process for integrating into our standard practices, these insights remind us of the importance of innovation, consumer education, and storytelling in driving sustainable practices! 💚 Events like Rethink are vital in fostering dialogue and collaboration in the sustainability space. A big thank you to all the organizers and participants for sharing their knowledge and passion for sustainability. #RethinkHK #SustainableDesign #EcoDesign #Sustainability #InnovationForGood
