As a design firm member/adopter, CAPRON design undertakes to
• Initiate a dialogue about environmental and social impact and sustainable alternatives with each and every client
• Rework client contracts to favour environmentally and socially responsible design and work processes
• Provide strategic and material alternatives for sustainable design
• Undertake programs to educate our team about sustainability and sustainable design
• Measure our carbon footprint and water usage and pledge to reduce both annually
• Advance the understanding of environmental and social issues from a design perspective by actively contributing to the communal knowledge base for sustainable design
