Design, Responsibly Sourced
Sustainability Strategy
Embedding ESG in everything we do
We integrate environmental, social, and governance (ESG) principles across our business, our sourcing, and our client projects, helping us and our clients achieve positive, measurable and lasting impact.
Below we've outlined the main ways we drive environmental, social, and governance (ESG) impact, both within our business and in the services we provide to our clients.
Sustainability at our core
At Dodds & Shute, sustainability is part of our DNA and the foundation of everything we do. As the first B Corp in our sector, we use business as a force for good, driving positive impact through responsible sourcing, transparent governance, and meaningful collaboration.
We work closely with clients and suppliers to reduce environmental impact, champion ethical practices, and strengthen the communities we’re part of. We’re passionate about nurturing the next generation of talent, supporting young designers and creating opportunities for diverse, underrepresented voices to thrive.
Every decision we make, from our supplier audits to our sustainability rankings, reflects our belief that beautiful design can, and should, do good.
