Introduction

...why we are eco-friendly

Green design by Designers on the Run At Designers on the Run we are proud of the fact that we were one of the first graphic design and web design studios in Edinburgh to become eco friendly. We take the issue of corporate social responsibility seriously which is why we restructured the way we work to officially offer green design solutions to all our clients. Please go to our ethical policy page to find out how we are actively engaged with going green.

Designers on the Run realise the role that design practioners have to play in an industry that plays its part in consumerism, packaging and waste and we seek to be part of the solution. We have from the outset been actively engaged in eco and ethical issues and have had the pleasure of working with others in the field-most notably the New Consumer magazine, who are the nation’s leading purveyors of the ethical lifestyle.

Like you we have seen the tide change and acknowledge that something needs to be done now to eliminate and reduce our negative environmental impact and carbon footprint - it’s really a no-brainer and we’re hoping that where we lead, others follow.

Design partners

We are actively engaged in the procurement of ‘green’ services and work with suppliers who match our ethos and where possible hold the proper accreditation. By promoting greener design methods we can also pass on the benefits of our knowledge base onto you the client.

dotRUN Gold

dotRUN Gold scheme for green business Designers on the Run are always eager to work with people who share our ethos and with those who could benefit from and would appreciate working with a green design team. But that’s not all, in the past we have incentivised going green to all our clients by giving them a special discount offer.

After careful consideration we now believe that the best way forward is to reward our clients who are actively doing all they can do reduce their carbon footprint and/or who are acting in a socially responsible manner through our dotRUN Gold scheme. Please go to our dotRUN Gold page for further details.
