A global initiative uniting leading designers and brands to define and uphold the highest standards in design.
Jury members review projects and brands worldwide, granting the Design Responsibility Certificate to those meeting these standards.
Every year, members gather in Paris to shape the future of responsible design.
While self-evaluation can be a source of anxiety, it's a necessary step to ensure the selection of gentle and calm designs. This year, a panel of judges, whose introduction will follow, will be responsible for this task. In the previous year, we entrusted this responsibility to nine renowned designers spanning different generations.

Designs often become showy in the competition to engage, losing sight of the gentleness that simplicity can offer. The Design Responsibility Movement under scores the importance of embracing humility and gentleness in design.
By refraining from creating artifacts that dazzle but lack substance, designers pledge to honor the essence of design – the ability to communicate humanity, resonate reality, and serve a genuine purpose. This movement champions the idea that designers must be committed to design gentleness as a significant criterion in design.
Designers are responsible for creating experiences that resonate with authenticity and integrity. The Design Responsibility recognizes this responsibility and challenges designers to rise above aesthetics. By committing to prioritize the quietness of individuals and society over fleeting gains, designers align themselves with a greater purpose: to contribute positively to the collective human experience. The Movement heralds a design renaissance where ethical considerations and societal impact guide creative choices.
