Globally, there is a lack of standardized sustainability processes within the engineering field. Our team designed a showcase for Kapacitet, an R&D engineering consultancy in Copenhagen, Denmark, to highlight the centrality of sustainability in its company-wide mission. We accomplished this goal by analyzing Kapacitet’s current approach to sustainable practices by facilitating two workshops and conducting interviews with its employees. Our key findings allowed us to design the framework for the wall of sustainability, a physical wall in the firm’s office, to exemplify the power of Kapacitet’s mission within the field.
