Achieving Sustainability Without Compromising Brand Impact and Design: An Interview with LIGANOVA


LIGANOVA is a global agency group creating meaningful brand and retail experiences -  from idea and design to realization and production. LIGANOVA are wholly dedicated to prioritizing sustainable practices in their own operations and their client projects.


To learn more about LIGANOVA’s work and gain insights into key sustainability trends and brand requirements, we spoke to Phil Grimm, Director Sustainability at LIGANOVA. LIGANOVA have developed eco-design principles, maintain an extensive database of sustainably conscious materials, and track carbon emissions of projects to drive data-driven decisions.

Our sustainability strategy is built on the core belief that sustainability should never mean compromising on brand impact, price, quality or on aesthetics. - Phil Grimm, Director Sustainability LIGANOVA

Phil explained that the number of sustainability requests from brands are continuously increasing and requirements are becoming more and more sophisticated. These requests span from essential corporate ESG information to get qualified as a partner, to comprehensive information on alternative materials, disposal methods and clear data transparency on the impact of their projects.

Phil believes that sustainability transformation in our industry requires collaboration throughout the entire value chain, from material innovators like Avery Dennison, through to agencies like LIGANOVA and the brands they serve. Together, we can drive innovations and education and empower brands to make more sustainable choices.
