Environmental Sustainability and Climate Action

As a design firm engaged in making tangible products and services, nae Inc. takes environmental responsibility seriously.

Creating something of value for society always involves choices—and if made carelessly, those choices can generate unnecessary waste and long-term harm. That’s why we embed environmental consideration from the earliest stages of design.

From material sourcing and production processes to lifecycle thinking and user experience, we believe that small, conscious decisions across the board can lead to systems that are truly sustainable—not just in theory, but in practice.

Our commitment to sustainability extends beyond the environment.

We aim to be ethical and respectful toward all forms of life—human and non-human alike. We also emphasize supply chain traceability and strive to avoid systems that depend on the exploitation of others.

In our product development, we standardize sustainable practices: selecting recyclable or low-impact materials, designing for durability, and proposing production methods that minimize environmental harm. Even when such choices may increase cost, we advocate for them—because integrity matters.

We also care deeply about fair working conditions across every layer of collaboration. For us, sustainability includes not only what we make, but how we make it—and with whom.

Ultimately, we envision a future where sustainability and ethical practice are not “special features,” but built-in defaults.

Design has the power to help us realize that future—quietly, intentionally, and effectively.
