Want to have your say on the future direction of sustainable design standards?
Does your company demonstrate best practice in environmentally conscious design?
Know which standards can help your products meet potential future regulations on ecodesign?
Attend this FREE 1-Day BSI British Standards Forum to learn how to manage sustainable design more effectively, and to have your say in shaping the direction the UK should take in regard to future standardization in sustainable design.
There is a growing focus on sustainable design within the design community and more widely amongst manufacturers and service providers.
New directives and regulations are currently being implemented in the UK which will place specific eco-design obligations on designers across the product lifecycle.
Another significant driver is the potential cost savings for manufacturers - sustainable product design can lower costs across the whole manufacturing process.
Setting Standards for Sustainable Design will communicate good practice in environmentally conscious design and identify priorities for development.
Feedback from this forum will be used to inform standards output in this area.

The VDA Design Award, now announced for the fourth time, is intended for newcomers to the international design profession, to encourage them in a visionary approach to the subject of freight transport by road.
Over the last few years the commercial vehicle and superstructure manufacturers organised in the VDA have made great efforts to improve their products in terms of transport efficiency, environmental protection and vehicle safety.
Yet there is no question of them resting on their laurels; on the contrary, they intend to continue this initiative, and to further optimise the road-transport system.
The task set by the competition is to produce concepts and to design visionary solutions for commercial vehicles in all segments of future freight transport by road.
The particular aim is to achieve maximum transport efficiency, i.e. to consider freight transport holistically, taking the whole transport chain into account.

"Veil" by Paul Cocksedge Studio is a four metre high curtain made of 1,440 Swarovski crystals.
It creates an incredible visual illusion; when viewed through a mirror, the shimmering curtain reveals its hidden secret: an iconic image set within the canvas of crystals, and when the viewer looks back at the curtain, the image disappears.
Cocksedge sees this first edition of "Veil" for Swarovski Crystal Palace as a romantic illusion.
