This document outlines the changing attitudes of business leaders towards sustainability and the opportunities this presents to product and information designers. Smart business leaders are beginning to understand the importance of sustainable practices to their success. Resource scarcity, increased regulation, and need to safeguard their brand reputation are a few of the key drivers for this mind shift. Just as businesses have to reconsider the way they do business, designers have to re-think aspects of the way they design to participate fully in the creation of a sustainable world. We have to be prepared to rethink our design process, our materials, our product lifecycle, and our notion of customer experience. Information designers and product designers have to work together to create the next generation of sustainability products. While product designers play a direct role, information designers play just an important role by gathering critical information across the enterprise and presenting them in a consumable way to allow decision makers to make informed sustainable choices. Keywords: sustainability, design, product design, interaction design, information design, business software, user experience design, product design, sustainable design, SAP

Editor's Notes
- SAP is a leading enterprise software vendor that enables business to manage their resources across their supply chain, customer relations, supplier relations etc. A phrase commonly used is from the shop floor to the top floor. SAP has over 100 K customers in over 120 countries in a variety of industries – automobile, food and agriculture, consumer products, utilities, pharmaceuticals etc. SAP is head quartered in Germany and has offices all over the world. It is estimated that 65% of the global gross national product flows through an SAP system every day. Why is a company like SAP interested in sustainability?
- What does sustainability mean to you?
- Gro Harlem Brundtland is a Norwegian social democrat. She served as the prime minister of Norway for three terms and as the director general of the WHO. Special envoy of Climate Change for the United Nations
- The world population reached 7 billion this week and is estimated to reach 9 billion in 2050. Additionally the raise of the middle class around the world aspiring for a western lifestyle will create unprecedented demand for goods and services throughout the world.
- There is a growing awareness that resources such as oil, water, and raw materials are not unlimited. The current rate of growth and ways of doing business will deplete our planet’s resources and threaten our very existence, unless we make serious changes. This impacts businesses directly via the rising cost and extreme price volatility of energy and other natural resources. Resource intensive businesses need to innovate and find other sustainable alternatives or risk going out of business
- The world is more connected than ever, and as such, there are no longer any local events in the new global economy. With business supply chains spanning the earth in most cases, an ill-advised business decision on one link impacts the entire value chain. Child labor in a major shoe manufacturer’s network, and toxic substances in toys comes to mind. Consumers are becoming increasingly interested in the health, social, and environmental impact of their purchasing decisions and are willing to share their experience online with their virtual communities. Businesses no longer have sole control of their brand and are only one of many sources of news about the company. Bad news is impossible to contain and has a severe effect on reputation, sales, and share prices. The recent oil spill in the US is an example of this phenomenon.
- Businesses are faced with an ever increasing number of new environmental, social, and product regulations per year. Such regulations pertain to product and material compliance, employee health and safety, sustainability reporting, and carbon trading. These regulations provide a clear incentive for businesses to think about their operations from a sustainability perspective to minimize or eliminate the risk of non-compliance.
