THE AWARD’S GOALS

The European Environmental Design Award aims to:

• Value and foster actions carried out in Europe by companies, institutions or designers which are particularly outstanding examples of good design from an environmental viewpoint.
• Raise awareness among companies, public institutions, designers and society of the importance of allocating sustainability values to their designs and products.
• Make society at large and productive sectors in particular aware of the importance of conceiving design as a welfare and wealth trigger and as carrier of cultural values and a utility.
• Turn Madrid into a benchmark for sustainable design. Place the Central de Diseño and Matadero Madrid at the centre of the design values included in the three previous goals.
