Several organizations and professions within design and construction have published official position statements related to Sustainability. As an industry leader, ARIDO is committed to publishing a similar position statement that is supported by guiding materials intended to empower ARIDO interior designers in Ontario to be leaders in sustainable design. This work will be led by ARIDO’s Sustainability Committee. This initiative will set ARIDO members and interior designers apart as champions and experts in the field of design centered on the interior of buildings in Ontario.

The Sustainability Committee envisions the immediate development of an ARIDO member Sustainability Practice Guide that can be used by the ARIDO membership to align with and support their participation in an ambassador role for the ARIDO Sustainability Strategy.

For development work to begin on the Sustainability Practice Guide, the Committee would like to hear from practicing members and the community at large on the topic of sustainability in design. A survey is available for all levels of members to participate in and can be accessed at the button below. The survey responses will help inform the development work and guide the Committee as to next steps.

The survey is anonymous and will be open for responses until January 29, 2025. The general results will be shared with the membership. This survey can be shared with other design professionals that are not currently ARIDO members.
