Our focus for this year’s challenge is to reshape practice by utilising an accreditation system which clients, consultants and contractors would be scored and certified against. Our idea builds upon last years’ submission 21-34, we believe their idea of a ‘stamp’ was great but drives a minimum stand

We have designed a visual tool to better understand and mitigate the impacts of engineering projects, and align the business model with objectives of greater inclusivity and global responsibility in industry. Inspired by the Business Model Canvas, we hope that the tool will help engineers across all

NEED: The Engineering Sector has historically been driven by profit and financial incentives. As per UN SDG #16, there is a need to increase the weight given by the engineering companies to non-profit elements such as People, Planet and Purpose. The Engineering Sector has well-defined guidelines for

Engineers are often not equipped and empowered to think holistically about the impact of their designs over the full life cycle. In most cases, engineers only have control over one small part of the overall design process and consideration across the supply chain is difficult. This can be a concern

Engineers have a bad reputation for being unable to communicate. The 'nerds' in the corner, the wall flowers at parties. Yet they're also those who determine the world in which we exist. They are the silent creators, who struggle to identify with their own creations. Our proposal, to reshape engine

Hello everyone. Hope you're surviving the pressure of getting your final submission ready ! It's tricky juggling when also working a full time job isn't it!

In order to make the engineering sector more globally responsible we are proposing to design a tool/visual framework, inspired by the Business Model Canvas. The tool will facilitate ensuring that engineering products and services are accessible and inclusive of all users and are as free as possible

Our focus for this year’s challenge is reshaping practice, by holding all duty holders accountable in meeting the four key principles; Responsible, Purposeful, Inclusive, & Regenerative. Our proposal is to introduce a sustainability or ethical rating system and 3rd party evaluation for organisations
