🌱 Sustainability challenges are not limited to physical products — services, digital systems, and everyday operations also play a significant role in shaping environmental impact.
👉 This two-part module introduces sustainable and circular service design as a practical and accessible approach for reducing impact across services, platforms, and organisational processes.
Through short lectures, real-world examples, and hands-on exercises, you will learn how circular thinking can be embedded into service design, digital workflows, and operational decisions. The training provides practical tools to assess your service’s footprint, identify meaningful improvement opportunities, and develop a clear and realistic action plan for implementation.

The first session establishes the fundamentals of service design and applies circular thinking to services rather than products. Linear and circular service models are compared, core circular principles are translated into service contexts, and the environmental impact of services and digital infrastructure is examined.
You will learn how users, touchpoints, and processes influence impact and map your own service to identify key environmental drivers.

This session focuses on practical levels for reducing the footprint of services in everyday operations. Topics include digital waste, data and infrastructure choices, green office principles, and organisational and legal considerations.
You will learn how to assess the footprint of your own service, identify concrete improvement areas, and translate sustainable service design principles into a clear and realistic action plan for implementation.
