Sustainability

Sustainable.
Today & Tomorrow.

Sustainability is built on three pillars: environmental, economic, and social responsibility. Designa is committed to all three.

Designa & Sustainability

Three Pillars.

100% green electricity, paperless processes, energy-efficient products, and sustainable procurement.
Pillar 2
Economic
Durable, modular systems with a service life of over 20 years and efficient logistics.
Pillar 3
Social
Collective wage agreements, remote work options, flexible working hours, and active employee development.
