Edison x Design for Good
In honouring our 10 years in business, the Design for Good programme was launched as part of our agency shift to formalising our philanthropic work and elevating its priority. We are currently progressing with our B Corp certification process which we hope to achieve successful accreditation by 2022 - watch this space!
Since 2011, we have prided ourselves on creating strong connections with our community, our people, partners and industry and this has shaped who we are today.
As a proud 100% female owned agency and with our approach anchored in the principles of human centred design, we see creativity as a super power and intend on using it for good!
An important part of our agency purpose is connected to achieving a balance between profit, people and planet. Last financial year we gave back to our community with a portion of our annual revenue going towards pro bono work in industries that support the underprivileged, minority groups, the disadvantaged, social change and sustainability initiatives. Now as a stretch our vision is to increase our commitment by investing at least 3% of our annual revenue year on year through the contribution of strategic tools, communication, brain power and creative solutions along with much needed cash donations.
OUR PILLARS
Our DFG pillars are based around both corporate and NFP/NGO initiatives under these three core areas:
Environment and sustainability
Products and services that are making a positive impact on our planet
Social Change
Products and services that encourage social consciousness and tackle complex social problems to create positive change in our community
Diversity & Inclusion
Products and services that strive for change in social and cultural inequity
We experiment, troubleshoot and pilot in the space between business and community and celebrate turning creativity into opportunity.
