Where to begin when setting up eco-design initiatives in your workplace and in your projects once you have been educated about it? What are the best approaches to pursue when you have to carry them out on your own or with little support?
These are questions many of you have asked yourselves! Which is why they are also part of an exercise we conduct during our workshops in order to develop an action plan individually or as a group. But why bother reinventing the wheel? So we decided to summarize over 110 ideas proposed by professionals in order to build a list of structured initiatives. We are thankful for the participants of our workshops and in particular those who took part in the July 11, 2024, event for their group thinking!
