Beyond User-Centricity

Sustainable UX: opportunity to impact and responsibility to accept

As designers we have the power to create huge impact on shaping the world of tomorrow - for good, but also for bad. Our creativity and our toolsets can help us to create sustainable solutions for a better future. Our mindset, empathy and problem understanding can be key for creating a better future.

Sustainable UX: Opportunity to impact and responsibility to accept

As designers we have the power to create huge impact on shaping the world of tomorrow - for good, but also for bad. Our creativity and our toolsets can help us to create sustainable solutions for a better future. Our mindset, empathy and problem understanding can be key for creating a better future.

But we also need to ask ourself, when do the beautiful experiences we create for our users cause harm on other ends. One big problem with UX and User Centered Design is the fact that it focusses so much on the user that forgets about all other actors that are impacted by what we create to fulfill user (and business) needs.

As Tony Fry once said: "Does what we create justify what we destroy?" We need to learn to see the digital experiences we create for our users as part of bigger eco-systems that impact a lot of other actors (human and non-human).

If we transform our understanding of UX, we can play a key-role in making digital products sustainable - by default. For a better future, for us, our children and the planet.

Sustainable UX is also great for business.

Customer relationship

Incorporating sustainability in your digitale experiences becomes crucial for a good relationship to your users/customer. Customers demand sustainable products and are willing to pay higher prices for sustainable services.

Infrastructure costs

Web Sustainability Guidelines and Sustainable UX practices help creating more effective digital solutions and thereby directly impact the infrastructure costs of your digital solutions.

Future regulations

Regulations already begin to demand more sustainable digital solutions. New green deal, CSRD, etc. You can compare it to what happens with Web Accessibility at the moment. Expect the same to happen with web/digital sustainability soon.
