Sustainability strategy
We have the industry’s ear, from top-tier Pencil winners to emerging talent, so our sustainability strategy is simple: get our own house in order, while using our sway to inspire others.
Carbon
Measure the carbon footprint of D&AD’s operations and activities to inform action.
- Measure D&AD’s footprint (including events) and take a science-based approach to eventually reach Net Zero
- Engage suppliers to achieve Scope 3 reductions
- Encourage and help the industry to measure, understand and reduce its impact
Community
Use D&AD’s platform to educate and inspire the industry in its shared responsibility to tackle the climate crisis.
- Empower D&AD to bring sustainability into their roles and departments
- Educate the industry on sustainability issues at all stages of their career

Celebrate
Use our platform to promote industry successes, digitally and through events.
- Be transparent internally and externally about sustainability progress and barriers.
- Celebrate work that creates tangible, positive change with the Impact Awards.
