The “Good Design” program was founded in Chicago in 1950. Its purpose is to emphasize the importance of sustainable design and to develop a public awareness program to the international general public about which companies are concentrating on sustainable design for our world environments. For “Green Good Design”, thousands of submissions were received from over 46 nations. Members of The European Center’s International Advisory Committee — worldwide leaders in the design industry — served as the jury.
