Sustainability

Did you know that the internet produces more CO₂ than the entire aviation industry?

Sustainable web design focuses on reducing the negative impact of web technology. It prioritizes people and the planet by lowering the CO₂ emissions of your website and making it as user-friendly as possible.

Branding goes beyond your logo and visual identity; it defines how you operate. As consultants, we’ll work with you to explore your strategy in terms of Environment, Social, and Governance (ESG). This way, you contribute to a better world while distinguishing yourself in the market.

Reforestation is crucial in the fight against global climate change. Nearly 15 billion trees are cut down each year for fuel, timber, or to make way for urban development and (industrial) agriculture. That’s why we invest a portion of our sustainability budget each year in planting new forests. Check out the KAN Woods on Tree-Nation's website.

We are committed to achieving our ambitious environmental goals in the coming years. This commitment extends beyond our own operations. We have already calculated scope 1 and 2 of our CO₂ emissions and will be examining scope 3 in the coming year. This includes evaluating the CO₂ output of our suppliers to get a complete picture of our emissions and implement targeted actions. In doing so, we also aim to inspire our clients to make more sustainable choices.

At KAN Design, knowledge transfer extends beyond our office. We share our expertise with new talent by mentoring interns, serving as jury members, and educating future generations through the School of Branding and guest lectures. We also share our insights through Klub KAN, a platform that includes our podcast. In the series ‘The Future of Branding,’ we discuss the future of our industry with various guests. Our goal is to continuously contribute to the development of the creative community.

Never not learning

We place special emphasis on training and development. In addition to work-related training that employees choose individually, we offer a wide range of general training throughout the year, from cybersecurity to workplace wellness. This helps us refine our skills and stay up-to-date with current topics.

Supporting all groups of individuals

We firmly believe in the strength of a diverse team. Collaborating individuals from various backgrounds, genders, orientations, and neurodiversities, all working towards a shared goal, enrich the organization and its results. We are committed to advancing our expertise in diversity and inclusion, focusing on areas such as selecting suppliers and designing job advertisements.

By dedicating 1% of our billable hours to social and ecological sustainability, we demonstrate our transparent approach to resource allocation. Our established governance framework aids in improving operational efficiency while highlighting our dedication to sustainable and ethical business conduct.

We emphasize the importance of data security knowledge throughout our team. Through frequent training and updates, we keep our team members informed about the latest security practices and technologies. This allows us to uphold a secure environment with a primary focus on safeguarding client information.
