We believe in an integrated approach to design thinking, incorporating physiological and psychological health and wellbeing, along with proven sustainable practices as a cornerstone of human-centric design.
At METAFOR, we believe that design serves a broader purpose.
As a JUST organization, METAFOR has established a framework and corresponding metrics to guide our operating policies as an investment in, and promotion of, our diverse and inclusive culture and work environment. As a voluntary disclosure tool, rather than a certification program, it is a transparency platform that helps us assess our operations and company culture in areas related to equity and social justice, including how we value our employees and where we make financial and community investments. It requires reporting on a range of organization employee-related indicators that outline measurable accountabilities in order for the organization to be recognized at specific levels of performance as indicated on the JUST label.
The International Living Future Institute (ILFI) provides communities and organizations with the tools to create a more “socially just, culturally rich, and ecologically restorative world”.
International Living Future Institute
The International Living Future Institute is premised on the belief that providing a compelling vision for the future is a fundamental requirement for reconciling humanity’s relationship with the natural world. Our beautiful planet is capable of supporting vast diverse ecosystems, allowing human communities to thrive, and we are capable as a species of living in balance with ecosystems and in balance with each other. At ILFI, they envision a future where our planet and humanity are thriving, and together we work towards that future every day.
Our mission is a society that is socially just, culturally rich, and ecologically restorative.
