At Designworks, we believe great design doesn’t just look good — it does good. As a team deeply committed to environmental responsibility, we’re proud to support businesses and organisations that are making a positive impact on the planet.
The ISO 14001 alternative for small business
We hold formal accreditation and an environmental policy that reflects our commitment to reducing our own impact — and helping others do the same. This includes reducing waste, minimising emissions, and embedding sustainability into what we do.
ISO 14001 is the international standard for environmental management systems (EMS). This standard can work well for some businesses but for many SMEs, maintaining ISO 14001 requires levels of time and money that cannot be sustained.
Our certification is:
- Streamlined, reducing the burden to our business.
- Proportionate to the size and environmental impacts of our business.
- Focused on meaningful change, rather than just compliance.
- Valuable for marketing purposes, meeting tendering requirements and demonstrating our environmental credentials.
How We Support Sustainable Businesses
- We work with clients in active travel, renewable energy, conservation and ethical sectors.
- We design brand identities and campaigns that help environmentally-focused organisations grow their reach and impact.
- We provide digital-first solutions for print to help reduce physical waste and carbon footprint.
Responsible by Design
Our team actively considers the environmental impact of every project — from sustainable print options to resource-efficient websites. We’re always looking for ways to do more with less, without compromising creativity.
Whether you’re already a green business or just beginning your sustainability journey, we’re here to help you tell your story. Contact us today at 01539 723254 or email info@thedesignworks.co.uk to start the conversation.
