Our Alliance

"We need designers to create technologies that can serve rapidly growing populations, reach rural areas and adapt to a changing climate. ... We need designers to use their laser-like focus on results, to ensure every water and sanitation solution is tailored to the needs of its intended users."

"Now is more important than ever for the world’s leading companies and design communities to step up and take a leading role in tackling the immense societal challenges affecting all of us. Design for Good is an amazing opportunity to bring our ideas to life and deliver far-reaching social impact at scale."

"I firmly believe people make the difference and have a passion for bringing teams together to help solve the most challenging problems. The impact that Design for Good has and can have is immense, and I'm very proud to be part of the team."

"There has never been a better time for an organisation like Design for Good. There is so much potential for designers to help solve the challenges of our current world. A key part of this … is using our own resources in the most impactful way we can, and I am proud to be part of the team making sure we do."

"Design for Good’s mission of improving life through design and innovation is essential to advancing SDG 4, ensuring inclusive and equitable quality education, and promoting lifelong learning opportunities for all …Their work goes beyond a simple contribution – it’s about transforming lives and making quality education a reality for everyone, everywhere."

"With so many profound challenges facing the world today, the sensitivity to listen to each other, work together, and imagine new solutions is needed more than ever. Design for Good is poised to create outsized impact – bringing together thousands of talented designers to contribute their creativity and care to help create better experiences for millions of people."

"When I first came across Victor Papanek's “Design for the Real World,” I was puzzled by its core thesis because I had mistakenly assumed that we all design for the good of the world all the time. Turns out that isn’t the case, and so Design for Good's raison d'être is to gather the key design thinkers, makers and stakeholders that seek to embody the mindful shifts needed today."

"There is a perfect storm of challenges affecting our world, but there is also a perfect storm of technological capability and human ingenuity to tackle those challenges. Designers have a special role to play by envisioning and delivering innovative solutions that tackle these challenges and are in harmony with people, planet and nature."
